BOARD
GIVEN $4,000
FOR FISCAL YEAR

The sum of $4,000 for general ex,
penses for the FISCAL year beginning
| July ], 1912 is granted the board of
agriculture and fcEestry by the com.
mittee on allotments OF the conserva-
! ton fund, which mrt at the Cover
nOr's Office this morning. OF this sum
$4,000 comprises the remainder of the
appropr at On for the last year, which
the board has not yet used.
I'm addition a special allotment of
$4,000 Is made for the construction Of
animal quarantine stations at Hilo
and at Kahului, on Maui. The animal
quarantine station at honolulu, as eX-
tended BY the $1,000 appropriation
authorized by the committee Two
months ago, is considered sufficiently
large to handle the work at this point
for the next twelve months, at least.
The committee made a number of
allotments on May IL for the new
fiscal wear. but those were tentative,
as il was impossible to obtain accur-
ate information as to the amount of
the tax receipts available. The taxes
are in now and the board of agricul-
ture and forestry has had time to in
vestigate its requirements definitely
and fully.
The only items modified by the
committee were those relating to the
board of agriculture and forestry, the
two allotments previously made, $42,-
900 and $1,000 being combined and
$1,000 added making total new ap-
preparation for general expenses of
$4,000.

genealogical work is to be extended
