| Thursday evening. At the preliminary
meeting Judge Mckay was chosen
chairman and Attorney George Hons
secretary. committee was appointed
consisting of George Hons ]. NJ K Ke-
ola and G. B. Robertson, to prepare a
petition for circulation, advertise the
meeting and take necessary steps.
The mass meeting called for Thursday
evening was largely attended, the court
house being packed to it's fullest capacity
with one of the most enthusiastic and
unanimous bodies ever assembled there.
On motion of Sheriff Baldwin, second
ed by DR.. Weddick, Mr.. c. L. Nakookoo
president of the local Home Rule party
of Waikiki, was elected chairman of
the meeting, and Mr.. G. B. Schrader,
secretary Captain Keola kindly consent
ed to act interpreter. There was but
little speech-making, for the reason that
every one was so in accord on the prop
osition that no discussion was neces-
sary.
The chairman briefly stated the object
of the meeting and called for remarks.
Mr.. Hons set the ball rolling by briefly
abiding to the reasons why the county
seat should not be removed from Wal
luku, and moved the appointment of a
committee to draft resolutions express
, i've of the sentiments of the audience, to
be forwarded to our representatives.
| The motion carried, and the Chair
named Mr.. Hons, Mr.. Baldwin and Mr..
Kinney as the committee. The commit
tee retired and in few minutes return
ed and presented the following resolu-
tons, which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the County bill is now pend
ing before the Legislature of the Terri
tory of Hawaii; and,
Whereas, it is proposed therein to
make the town of Lahaina the county
seat of the county comprising the ISL
ands of Maui Molokai, Lanai and Kaho-
olawe; and,
Whereas, We citizens and residents Of
the District of Wailuku, in meeting as
sembled, deem it to be an injustice to
the residents of the Districts of Wailuku
Makawao and Hama to make the town Of
rLahaina the county seat of said county;
and,
Whereas, we beueve that the town Of
Waikiki. by reason of its central loca-
ton, close proximity to a sea port, and
larger number of inhabitants, is by right
entitled to be given preference as a
county seat: now therefore be it
Resolved, That we are unanimously
in favor of having the said bill amend
ed by substituting the town of Wailuku
as such proposed county seat; and be 1t
further
l Resolved, That we hereby request our
/ Representatives in the Territorial Legis-
lature to further these, our views, to the
fullest extent: and be II further
these reSOtu-
tons, signed by the chairman and the
secretary of this meeting, be forwarded
, to our Representatives in both branches
of the Legislature.
