side. Tho sites considered were the
Honolulu Hale property, the area ON
King street between y .. HAIRS aud
Levers a Cooke. the Irwin property
adjoining the Opera House. the Bishop
Estate opposite the Young Hotel The
conccnsus OF opinion was that the
building should be as near Fort street
as possible.
In on-hand discussion II was stated
that the area between the Hail ana
Lowers & Cooke buildings II looked up
on as most central place. The pro-
position IL To cut n street through from
King to Merchant street between the
Levers & Cooke building and Emme-
luths place. which would necessltate
the removal of Harmony Hall. An
other street would be cut through from
King to Merchant streets with the Hall
building on the Eva side. This would
give the Federal building a frontage
on four streets.
MEMBERS FAVORABLE.
| In the discussion following the read
ing of the Promotion committee repor,,
all comments were more or less favor
able, 1t being generally agreed that the
| work should he continued: Among
those speaking to the proposition We're:
j. a. Gilman-"The report as read
! is exceedingly gratifying to me as n
member of the Hawaii Promotion Com
mittee. The outlook for the Promo
ton work Is very good indeed. They
have succeeded in negotiating with
Frank Seaman in New York, one of
the best advertising agents in the East,
to work in that section of the country
for Hawaii. As to the statement tina.
the Promotion Committee is to bring
out number of editors to see Hawaii,
l would say that the truth is that
Seaman stated some time ago he was
going to cross the continent in a priv
ate car and would take half a dozen
of the leading editors with him. We
opened up correspondence with him
with view to his coming here. He
has deferred his visit. If the editors
| did come, all the Promotion commit
tee would do would be to entertain
them, by seeing that they visited the
proper places and are looked after gem
orally, and so on. The Young Hotel
people have stated that the Hotel
would be open free to the visitors;
the steamship people would give them
transportation; the railroads ditto
| There Is no intent on the part of the
| Promotion Committee to pay all their
| expenses"
James Steiner-"T thing the Promo
| ton Committee work a good thing.
think perhaps 1t ought to be u little
more economical"
w. w. Hall of T.. o. Hall & Son-"As
a member of this committee | might
say that perhaps 1t is little uncor-
tunate that the first year of our adj
vertising should happen during the
Fair time, for people had plans long
ahead of time to go to the Fair
think we certainly ought to keep up
our advertising and the efforts of the
Committee should be extended as much
as possible to get results in coming
| years.
People who have come here from
abroad ami with whom | have talked
have said that We cannot expect result,
the first year. 1t has to grow. Peo-
pie Will see the advertising during this
first period and it will finally make an
impression upon them and they will
IIan to come here as well as ot!,cr
places"
Edgar Lewis of Lewis & Co.-"I
agree with Mr.. Hall. / would like TO
see this work carried on further. When
the results do come, they will come
strong. l feel tina. this work has not
been wasted. There have been many
factors this year to keep people away
from us. With all the large steamers
coming here | think that big results
viii come and come very soon"
j. G. Rothwell of Peacock & Cor
extend my appreciation to the Promo
ton Committee for It's work, and am
entirely in accord with the suggestions
made that 1t should not be abandoned.
1t should be kept up for five years at
least. Do not expect results too SOON.
The only difficulty is the means of car
rylng 1t on. / think the effort should
continue along the same lines.
We should endeavor to get lower
passenger rates. / am glad the com
mittee has already been partly sue
cessful"
W. W. liafflS or Levers X Cooke
II agree with the report thoroughly.
We cannot get something for nothing.
II we stop the expenditures now 1t
would be wrong. The work should con-
tinue. | believe the next legislature
VIII appropriate an additional amount
Of money as they did before. If we are
to accomplish anything In the tourist
line we must keep II up.
