Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1907-11-18


agreed to test all animals exported to
Hawaii free OF charge. Under these
circumstances he thought it might Do
Just as well to do away with his for
iner plan. and merely enforce regu'
lation requiring that this test be
made. The certificates of inspection
could be taken up by the local Gus
toms inspectors.
Won Tempsky said he would like ia
lave veterinary surgeon on Maui,
NOrgaard said that his services would
be available at any time.
Judd asked NOrgaard how the dis
organization of the Association would
affect him. He answered that he would
he glad to resign. However, he
tnouht II might be well to continue
The collection Of the stock tax, the
revenue to he applied to pay for the
salary of deputy veterinarian. Nor
gard said further that he was now
receiving q good salary from the Ter
ritory. and he did not consider II more
than right that the salary he had
heretofore received from the Asso
citation should be given some deputy,
Holt said that even If the AssOcia,
ton he disoTganiZcd, the plan to have
reterinaries on each island should be
Put into effect. as II was good one.
Single said, representing Aubrey
Robinson of Kauai, that that gentle.
ilan thought II better to have DR..
Norgaard test all the imported an.
imals at Honolulu.
Won Tempsky moved that the Asso.
citation be not disOrganized. II NIGH
be well to cut down the taxes to II,
but IL would be great mistake TO
llsband now, as it would probably be
needed soon
Low said he thought II would be a
mistake to disband. It would be bet.
ter to reorganize in some way. The
Board of Agriculture might impose so
heavy a charge for inspecting import
cd animals as to prohibit such impor.
tation.
NOrgaard said that there would be
no expense involved In the testing.
Low went on to say that If the dis.
organization idea was due to personal
feelings II should be remembered that
this was a business proposition. The
cattlement should follow the example
of the sugar planters and stick to.
Pether for their common welfare.
Single said that as treasurer he
mad come In close touch with the
financial situation This year hardly
any dues had been collected. It
looked as II the indictment In the
beef trust case had scared some mem
bers out, who were even afraid of at.
lending meetings for fear that this
might be made a point against them
however ridiculous this idea was.
Furthermore there had been very
great difficulty in collecting the stock
tax. Single suggested that Won
Tempsky amend his motion so as to
amend the bylaws, making the dues
nominal in order that the organization
might hang together at present. BY
The resignation of DR.. Norgaard the
Associations Expenses would be cut
down to almost nothing and no great
sum of money would be needed to go
ahead. ,.
Won Tempsky said he would be
! willing TO accept the amendment. He
was very much against the disbandlng
/ plan. The last legislature had cut
( down the penalty for the offense of
, cattle stealing from two years to one
year. This was very bad for the cat.
ilemen, and they ought to be well rep.
resented at the next Legislature 50 as
to get the penalty raised to or 10
years.
Won Tempsky then renewed his mo.
don wiping out back dues and reduc.
ing the dues from January, 1908, to
s. a month. This carried.
Shingle moved to cut out the stock
TAX altogether. This carried.
DR.. Norgaard rendered his resigna.
ton, stating that he felt that even II
Re resigned he would be in a position
% assist the stock raisers.
Single moved that It be accepted
and vote of thanks extended to the
doctor for his past services. Won
Tempsky spoke in high terms of the
promptitude with which DR.. Norgaard
had always handled diseases.
Won Holt moved that the executive
committee be instructed to look into
The idea of DR.. Norgaard to have vet
rrinaries stationed on the different
islands.
Dr. Norgaard said 1t would be an
excellent plan to adopt. The planters
who were often troubled with gland
ers among their stock, might help to
ray salaries. In an outbreak OF
FLANDERS It was of great importance
TO have a veterinarian on the ground
who could take immediate steps &c
prevent the spread of the epidemic.
Horner said he thought the planters
favored the plan, and the committee
should be instructed to confer with
he trustees Of the Planters Assoc!a
ton about the matter. The motor
then carried.
At the suggestion of Judd a com
hlittee was appointed, consisting o
Won Tempsky, Horner and Shingle, t
make up u slate of officers for The
coming year.
An adjournment was taken unit
