By way of suggestion to the several
committees, to facilitate their begin
ming operations, the following are
suggested, as items requiring atten-
ton, or as being objects within the
several departments which are, or
may be, made available for the Ha-
Waiian Exhibit.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
l. The Executive Committee should
at as early a date as possible, ascer-
tain the amount of space which will
probably be required, and cause ap-
plicatiOn to be made for such space in
rs favorable a locality as is yet avail
able.
There should be no unnecessary de-
lay in this, as the available space on
the Exhibition Grounds is limited,
and it is rapidly being assigned to
other countries in the order of their
application.
For the purpose of ascertaining the
probable space required, each COM
mittee should report to, the EXecu-
tive Committee as soon as possible,
the number of square feet of floor and
wall space which their respective de-
partments will probably require.
The following objects are suggested
as available for exhibition under the
several departments, which can be
elaborated and extended by each COM
mittee.
