George \. Davis spoke ut some
length on the subject OF corporation.
corporation there are the boundaries
and the wards To be looked after and
the services Of surveyor Will be re-
qured."
DO we need money for Surveyor
asked Stewart.
"Oh, no; we can probably fnd some
one to do IL for nothing" replied Da-
Wis in "A sarcastic tone.
Davis then moved that the report be
accepted but j. a. Gilman thought
that IL was not yet time to drop the
discussion, and said SO $50 far as the
finances are concerned" went on Mr..
Gilman. 1.-The 5000 pledged already was
not given by ardent supporters, and
many of the warm partisans of the Re-
publican party have not been seen at
all / believe that the balance of the
fund can be raised without trouble
and If necessary. l think that consid-
cradle more could be raised"
Il. MottSmith proposed an amend
ment to the original motion to the eff
feet that the chairman of the finance
committee be authorized to proceed
with the collection of funds, and report
at the next meeting. Upon being put
to the question the motion with the
amendment was carried.
A motion of Stewards that had car
ried over from the last meeting was
taken up, and after much discussion
experienced in getting a full attend
ance at the meetings was due to the
presence of Francis Murphy in the
city, the following motion was carried:
From and after this session this COM
mittee shall meet on Friday evening Of
each week at 1880 o'clock, and stand
adjourned at 10 o'clock. That all reso-
lutions and parts of resolutions incon-
sstent with this resolution be and the
same are hereby rescinded."
Weaver offered as a suggestion that
section /, article 1, which refers to
boundaries, rights and liabilities, be
referred to the charter committee. The
article reads as follows: The munich
pal corporation known as the city and
county of Honolulu shall constitute a
body polite and corporate IN name and
in fact, and by that name shall have
perpetual succession; may sue and de-
fend in all courts and places, and in
all matters and proceedings may have
and use common seal, and alter the
same at pleasure; may purchase, re-
ceive, hold and enjoy real and personal
property may receive donations, be-
quests, gifts and donations of all kinds
of property in fee simple, or in trust
for charitable and other purposes, and
do all acts necessary to carry out the
purposes of such gifts, requests and
donations, with power to manage, sell,
in accordance with the terms of the
bequest, gift or trust
Section 2.-"The boundaries of the
city and county of Honolulu are here
by declared to be those of the District
of Kona in the Island of Oahu"
Section 3.-"Suits, actions, and pro-
ceedings may be brought in the name
of the city and county for the recovery
of any property, money or thing be-
longing thereto in law or equity, or
dedicated to public use thereon, or for
the enforcement of any rights or con-
tracts with the city and county,
whether made or arising, or accruins
before or after the adoption of the
charter"

above the meeting was adjourned.
