| items in the construction of public
buildings The committee reported that
] the Superintendent was willing to Sc
gregate the contracts for the construc-
| ton of the Insane Asylum and the
new Normal School.

that the contracts be divided as bas-
lows
O Brick and Concrete work. n
(2) Carpenter work.
(S) Plastering work. a.
W Sheet Metal work.
6) Plumbing work.
6) Electrical work.
90 Painting work.
After discussion the report was
adopted with the amendment that
plaster and cement ornamental work
be made a separate class. Members
OF the exchange expressed the opinion
that this segregation of contracts was
IA long step In advance and that 1t
would tend to keep work in Honolulu
The next item of business was the
discussion of substitute set of rules
for the Financial Information Bureau
of the exchange. This brought out a.
lively argument, some of the members
contending that the Exchange was get
ting to be a mere collection again while
Others feared that the introduction of
outsiders as members of the Bureau
would cause friction. The report was
finally laid on the table. 1t was then
moved and seconded that the president
appoint substitute director to act
during the absence of John +. Bowler.
