Gated in EiI0 whose services may be
obtained for official work for $50 per
month. On the other hand the veter-
marian to be stationed at Wain7ea.
Hawaii. must be paid 800 ner month
But in view Of the fact that large
numbers of live stock. especially
horses. mules and d0nkeys belonging
10 the laboring classes, many OF which
have no means 10 pay for veterinary
services and therefore would not feel
inclined to send for a veterinarian. ii
would seem that outbreaks of conta-
gious diseases among live stock be
longing TO this class might be dealt
with through the County Supervisors.
II might be added that in many
communities. California for instance,
each county maintains a county vet
erinarian for the same purposes as
those outlined in this plan and the
Board of Commissioners of AgricuI-
ture and Forestry would therefore re-
spectfully suggest thar the Board OF
Supervisors of the counties Of Kauai
Maui. and Hawaii take under consid-
GRAFTON the advisability Of cooperating
with this Board in procuring the re-
quired number Of veterinarians.

ships in loading and unloading. The
following is the resolution and rule

which adequate measures TO prevent
the abuses can be better framed:
