To ghe President of the Hawaiian

We report the following PROPOSE
ton towards the creation Of such reIS-
tons with the Honolulu Library and
Reading Room Association, SIS shall
be mutually beneficial and helpful,
I. That the Honolulu Library and
Reading Room Association grant to
the Hawaiian Historical Society tn =
permanent use and control OF the
front room Of the Library building
, That the said Association trans
fer to this Society all printed and
manuscript matter IN its possession
relating In whole or in part 20 Poly
nesia AMI the Pacific Ocean in general
aud the Hawaiian Islands IN par
tlealar
8. That the members of the Hawaii
an Library and Reading Room Asso-
CATION may consult the books belong
ing to the said Historical Society,
subject to the same rules that now
regulate the use OF the reference de-
partment Of the said Library Assocfa-
tiOu. and such others a. may De made
IN relation thereto by the Historical
Society.
1. That the Hawaiian Historical
Society shall not call upon the
Library Association, as SUCH for any
financial aid in building up It's H2-
waiIan and PoIyuesf4n library
). That n the possible event OF the
dissolution Of the Hawaiian Historical
Society, its whole library shall be-
come the property Of the Library
Association.
Your committee have consulted the
trustees Of the Library Association IN
relation TO this proposition, and they
at their last regular meeting unani-
R0usIF approved of IT,
IF the Historical Society should
adopt this proposition, the further
matter of the business status Of the
Society becomes much zirnpIIfiedr for
with such An alliance with al esGab-
IIshed corporation, in possession Of
real estate and buildings, the incor-
porati0n Of our Society IS OF less con-
sequence than If we were without
such favorable conditions; and N any
ease your committee do not see any
present necessity for Incorporating
the society, but recommend that the
President be made the trustee OF the
Society TO hold its property TO the use
OF the Society and according to their
Instructions; or, If it should be
deemed desirable, the Directors might
be. made trustees to hold the property
~ aforesaid.
