Mr.. Giftard asked II there was any
statement made as 10 why the lam
guage Of the appropriation bill would
not permit OF the expenditure Of this
amount In Hawaii. and II not. II such
an explanation could be secured. For

tended to follow the matter up and
would write TO Mr.. Pinchot in regard

hope that he would do so.
TO STAMP OUT CHAMBERS.
The draft Of a letter prepared by DR..
Norgaard seeking TO enlist the CO.
the effort TO stamp out CHAMBERS In
the Territory. was approved. The es-
sential parts of the plan and the
means by which II is hoped 10 carry
II out were fully set out in the letter.
In this the Board says:
At recent meeting of the Board Of
Commissioners of Agriculture and For
estry. the Territorial Veterinarian
submitted for the consideration OF the
Board a report which showed con-
clusively that the loss OF horse stock
from CHAMBERS has been very large
during the past two years. He further
submitted that those losses could have
been minimized II competent veter-
inaries had been available at the time
when the first suspicious symptoms
made their appearance, but having to
CIV eiAl NlAC dAAANdl OI
the Territorial Veterinarian several
of these outbreaks became epidemic
before being checked.
In view of this situation the Board
is now considering a plan for an i'm
proved veterinary inspection and sani-
tary service throughout the Territory
of Hawaii.
The principal feature of this plan is
to induce four efficient veterinarians
permanently. These veterinarians will
be appointed assistant or deputy ter
ritorial veterinarians by this Board
and as such. will exercise the same
and enjoy the same prerog-
atives as those vested in the Terri
torial Veterinarian. These four men
will be stationed at Lihue, Kauai;
Wailuku. Maui: Waimea, Hawaii and
Hilo. Hawaii. Their official duties
would consist in the inspection of i'm
ported livestock and in attending TO
outbreaks or suspected outbreaks of
nonta giOus diseases among livestock
For these services no charges will be
made except mileage and actual ex-
penses for subsistence while away
from their respective stations In all
1ther cases where the said veterina-
rams are called upon to treat, pre-
scribe for or operate on livestock af-
,ected with medical or surgical dis
eases not Of a agious nature, they
;hall be allowed to charge for the SER
rices according to a previously ar
-anged schedule
In order TO induce the right kind OF 4
nen TO take these positions it will be /
Necessary TO pay them a monthly sub /
Idly. which IL has been decided, should /
e not less than 800 per month except 4
n the case of the county of Hawaii 4
where a practising veterinarian is To-

ated in Hilo whose services may be
btained for official work for $50 per
Month On the other hand the veter-
marian 10 Be stationed al Waimea-
Hawaii. must be paid s100 per month.
But in view OF the fact that large
numbers OF live stock especially
orses mules and dOnkeys belonging
o the labOring classes. many Of which
ave no means 10 pay for veterinary
srTiees and therefore would not feel
Inclined 70 send for veterinarian. it
-0uld seem that outbreaks Of cOnta-
iOUs diseases among live stock be-
Inging 10 this class might be dealt
Tith through the County Supervisors
Il might be added that in many 4
onmunities. California for instance,
zch county maintains a county vet
rinsrian for the same purposes as
hose outlined in this plan and the !,
Gard Of Commissioners of Agrieul-
IRE and Forestry would therefore re-
Dectfully suggest that the Board of
Of the counties Of Kauai,
Isui. and Hawaii take under consid-
ration the advisability Of cooperating 7

uired number Of veterinarians. 7
