that anyone knowing of the presence
of disease among animals should re-
port the same to the authorities, under
penalty for neglect, was read. The bill

mails with glanders and farcy. Kaniho,
as representing the mules of the Ter
ritory, possibly, protested against the
bill applying to his alstrict. He stated
| that there were no veternarles IN no
hala, which accounts for several things.

| lish a board of veterinary examiners

| cants for licenses to practise veterinary
medicine in the Territory, prescribing
their duties and regulating the prac-
| tise of veterinary medicine, was taken
up.
| sheldon pointed out that the bill
| would prove hardship on animal own
ers. He drew word picture of Kona
