MATTERS
Why There Will
Be No Open
House.

A very well attended meeting OF the
HeaIanI Yacht and Boat Club took
place on Wednesday evening last at
the club house. and never before in the
history OF the club has there been such
uranimIty OF opinion. One of the prin-
cipaI objects of discussion was the
charge for lockers. which was inau-
gurated recently by the board OF di-
rectOrs. and concerning which there
had been unfavorablc criticism by some
OF the members who did not under
stand the reason therefor.
President Wall explained that the
revenues OF the club had never been
quite equal 20 the expenses: that the
deficit had each year been met by pop
uIar subscription. which subscription
was always advanced by the faithful
few, the club at large taking no part
In IL. The charge was so cents per
locker. or . cents per member. where
two occupied one locker. and Il was
felt that this additional revenue derived
from locker rentals would fully meet
the deficit. when the matter was
brought - an issue the club unani-
mouSIy voted To- support the directors
IN their action.
One matter that brought forth con-
siderable discussion was IN. PROPOSE

arguments pro and con being offered.
