at least the cons liberation of the art.
Giles, seflatiul.
Nire-prc>it,nt Voters OH, cted
to the draft submitted IS he'ng too
verbose. Con lOertd that bylaws
of Il total of three or four hundred
words would contain all that was
necessary for an organization Of the
kind that this was inteadtd to be,
and the existence of which was
limited.
The acting-secretary, Mr.. ID. L.
Huntsman, considered that the fuller
and more explicit the bylaws were,
the better they would prove. The con-
suluion of an organization was as Il
rule short, but the bylaws III con-
nectiOn Herewith were necessarily
long. The Constitution of the United
States was not lengthy document,
neither wasthe Constitution OF Hawaii,
yet the statutes or bylaws OF either
country would fill many volumes.
He was in favor of adoption of re-
port.
Mr.. GOdstein favored the views
of the vice-president that the claws
were too long
Treasurer klcmme was in favor of
accepting the draft, and that it be
read at three different meetings.
| he good points then could I've held
on to, and the bad ones dropped.
Mr.. Wagner, (the former vice
president), referred to former OBJ
lection made by the acting secre-
tary, that the constitution of the Or
ganlzation was not short enough,
now the same gentleman desired
lengthy bylaws. He (the speaker)
thought that two or three hundred
words would be sufficient.
Vice president VOTERS moved that
the draft presented be LAID on the
table until next meeting. Carried.
Acting-secretary Huntsman, from
the committee on charter for the Or
ganiza'ion, reported progress and
suggested that the idea of charter,
or license, he dropped, as the organ
ization was neither intended for a
commercial body, nor secret So
ciety.
After some little discussion o mo-
ton was carried that the committee
on charter be discharged.
The report of the treasurer was
presented, which showed receipts of
S27.O5 and disbursements S23.70,
since last meeting.
A bill was presented from the Ha-
waiian Gazette Company Offering
space for advertisements for l3
meetings, for $3.50 if paid in ad
vance, but TO be S13 on time. In
discussion of this bill it was decided
not to accept the terms offered and
the president was ordered to direct
the secretary not to insert any more
advertisements.
A bill for 81 so from the Hawaiian
Gazette Co, for printing 800 men,
bership cards was noted AS paid.
Several new members were pro-
posed and were elected by acclama-
ton.
On question Of rent of hall gen.
ercus and immediate response was
ma re by few of the members pre-
sent, by dues being paid in advance.
On motion it was decided that
regular target practise should be
commenced and squads were formed
for that purpose.
After completion of arrangements
for the attendance of the first squad
at the butts and the transportation
of rifles, the meeting was, on mo-
ton, adjourned, President Wilcox

meeting,
