A letter from Superintendent of pub
I DC Instruction Bahbltt. contained the
following paragraph
Il beg TO acknowledge receipt OF
your favor regarding the fence around
the High School grounds This mat
ter will be brought up nj the next
meeting OF the Commissioners OF Ed
ucation on Wednesday"
Mr.. Glffard IN referring TO the re-
moval of fences from the front OF pri-
vate premises. said that estrays make
It impossible at present In some sec
tions. He was in favor Of taking down
Small boys also damaged premises al
most as much as estrays.
! Mr.. Hosmer advised giving the ad-
visory committee power to increase its
membership. He desired that President
Griffiths of oahu College be added.
Mr.. Spalding said the city improve
ment was a good work and should be
pushed and the Promotion Committee
members would also have to put their
shoulders to the wheel.
Mr.. Giffard thought the Promotion
Committee should take cognizance of
the unsightly telephone poles which
bristle all over the city. There were
many standing about the streets which
held no wires. Mr.. Spalding said that
while the committee did not want to
interfere with any private business or
corporation, yet 1t felt 1t had a duty In
making the city attractive.
Mr. Giffard was of the opinion that
a better system in selecting telephone
! poles could be maintained. These
poles should be erected with something
of the uniformity of the electric light
and Rapid Transit poles. The latter
two sets were also painted dark green
and did not stand out glaring in un-
painted condition as We're the telephone
poles. Many of the latter were square.
some round. some tall, some short, and
nearly all crooked and unsghtly.
Mr.. Kidwell said the advisory COM
mittee could get to work by comforting
with President Griffiths with reference
to tree planting in College Hills. There
should be some uniformity in the dis

ing.
The meeting then adjourned as a
joint session, the advisory committee
getting together in one portion of the
promotion room and the Promotion
Committee meeting elsewhere to con-
slider routine matters of business
The secretary was instructed to look
up the law of estrays. If there was
not a law at present which would give
property owners protection should they
remove the fences, the county supervis-
ors should be asked to pass an ordi-
nance covering the matter.
Mr.. Spalding said the committee could
not expect to see sweeping removal
of fences. 1t would have to come
gradually.
A letter from M. F. Peter, secretary
of the Kalihi Improvement Club. noti-
fled the committee that at a recent
meeting the club advocated "a grading
of streets, preparatory to tree plant
ing; (2) repairs to roads; and (3) lights
along the streets.
Mr.. Smith stated that he had con-
ferred with Commodore Hebron of the
Hawaii Yacht Club relative to the pro-
lposed ocean yacht race from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu next year. Mr., Hob
ron was getting out entry blanks to be
sent to all yacht clubs on the main
land.
AS to trophy, Mr. Smith said that
the usual style of cups was merely for
ornamental purposes and seldom for
useful purposes. He proposed a design
for the Hawaiian Cup" as the trophy
Is to be called, in the shape of genu-
inc old Hawaiian calabash but made
of silver 1t could be ornamented and
would be a handsome trophy for any
yacht club, and 1t was something they
could use for festal occasions.
1--WE might add a ladle," suggested
Mr.. Gartley.
Mr. Smith said that Mr.. Wichmar
had generously offered to have a trophy
manufactured and turn It over to the
lcommittee at cost price.
The cup is to be offered by the Ha.
waiian Promotion Committee. but tho
trophy will be presented by the Hawai-
Yacht Club and known only as the
Hawaii Cup" A motion to this effec
was passed
. No progress was reported for thu
proposed Floral Parade.

cation Co. was to put on it's new pas
senger vessel for island service in Feb
ruary 1t would be well fitted up fol
passenger service and would carry pas
sengers at lower rates than now pre-
vail. Mr.. McCandless stated that tn,
