The Promotion Committee, the pre-
sident explained, is not a standing
committee of the chamber. The cham
Der has had two members the last be-
ing j. Lowrey and j. A. Kennedy.
Kennedy wished to retire and Presi-
dent Lowrey also wish to have someone
else attend to the work now. The APP
pointment was up to the Board
e. l. Spalding presented a report on
the Promotion committee which he had
prepared as Chairman of the Finance
Committee. It was difficult he said to
ascertain what proportion of the tou-
! rists sent here could be credited to
the literature sent out by the commit
tee. He thought that the spending OF
the sums of money had done good but
| it was a question if better results could
not have been achieved. The secre-
tary had been criticized harshly per-
haps by some and he thought that a
thorough investigation should be made
A detailed statement of expenses of
the Promotion Committee was read
The average required per month is $129C
total requirements to December 81 next
$4,000 to pay for running expenses and
new folders.
A report from Secretary E. NJ. Boyd
giving figures from the hotels of in
| creases in tourist traffic was read by
Spalding. The livery stable keepers
also reported steady and constant
growth of business. The Volcano
House and Haleiwa also showed in
creasss of 70 per cent. Motor car
dealers and real estate also reported
large business. A $4,000 home is be-
ing arranged for and Spalding report
ed personally that $4,000 home has
been arranged for by a tourist who re-
Gently visited here. The question of
the possible visit of the Shriners from
Los Angeles had also been taken up
by the committee.
Spalding did not think that the per-
sonnet of the committee should be cri-
ticized until thorough investigation had
been made. Boyd had said that he
had been called down by people for not
having included their names in lunch
cons given by Hackfeld & Co.. and
other parties, events with which he
had had nothing whatever to do.
Pfotephauer was under the impress
sion that the hotels should contribute
to the funds Of the committee.
Spalding stated that there had been
a case of overcharge by guide at the
Volcano which the committee was in
vestigating.
E. I. Spalding was selected as one
member representing the Chamber and
the chair was deputed to select the
second member.
On the chairs suggestion the COM
mittee on harbors, shipping and trans
portation was instructed TO write the
Treasury Department at Washington
concerning the loss of the Schooner
woodbury. and pointing out in that
connection, the necessity for the per-
manent stationing of a Revenue Service
boat here.
The return of the Taft party was
brought up and on motion the Enter
tainment Committee was instructed to
consider what form Of entertainment
should be arranged.
