aid again. Without. assistance from
the shippers wharf committee, as IS
done in Hilo, the rat crusade cannot
be continued Mr.. Swanzy asked Tor
figures showing the money furn1shed
by the merchants and they were sup
piled. Mr. Morgan asked if there were
any suggestions relative TO the promo
ton work. The money is coming from
the business men and the work is TOR
the benefit of the Territory. For that
reason he believed 1t would be well for
the gentlemen to take action toward
the procuring of aid from the govern
ment.
Before anything could be done Faxon
Bishop remarked that the health OF
the community was of more impor-
tance He would like to introduce a
resolution providing for another plank
in the platform, one to the effect that
the government must provide more
money for the Board of Health. This
had a second and carried.
From the Promotion Committee ]. A
MeCandless said the committee now
has about two thousand dollars
month and it takes close skimping to
keen within that sum. The committee
could use more without being extrdva-
CANT He believed it only right that
the LEGISLATURE be asked to appropri-
ate a thousand dollars month for the
promotion work. He believed it could
be procured if the bushes men would
endorse the request.
T. Give Davies wanted to know II
the two thousand dollars month IN
cluded what was expended for the
Yacht race and Mr.. McCandless ex-
blamed that the committee had done
nothing for the yacht race; the money
was what had been left over from the
sum raised for the delegation to Wash
ington and the hundred dollars or more
needed for the purpose was furnlshed
by private subscription. The money
for the promotion work came iargeiy
from the wharf tax fund or voluntary
contributions from the business men,
The committee is 1897 ahead on the
yacht race proposition When reso-
luton was called for at this time no
one seemed willing TO move and Mr.
I.owrey called for a resolution asking
for the entire support of the militia
by the Territory, and it passed.
Geo. W. Smith spoke of the neces-
sity for a new license bill and moved
that the meeting recommend such
measure j. P Cooke said that would
come within the scope of the tax COM
mission. Mr. Smith then withdraw his
motion and Mr.. Bishop said the request
would meet with the hearty approval
of the members of the Legislature
He had worked hard at the last session
for such measure but 1t failed TO
become a law as the Governor did not
sign it. This will go to the tax COM
mission when it is authorized.

McCandiess is one that should not be
ignored and he moved that an appro-
priation be asked for. Mr.. Macfarlane
seconded this and added that it should
be in the form of a resolution calling
upon the government to aid to a certain
a.a ourit. r5roWn withdrew his motion
and the resolution carried.
Mr. harrington said something should
be done toward endorsing the action
of the Board of Immigration. Mr.. Ten
nev said it was an important matter.
The authorities at Washington were
calling upon Hawaii to settle the Ter
ritory with people from the mainland
or from continental Europe and it
should be shown that the work of the
Board has been satisfactory and that
it is the sense of this meeting that the
work of the Board be continued. j. P.
Cooke wanted to go further and insert
a plank in the platform to that effect
Mr. Bishop objected to this on the score
that it would precipitate row. He
said he did not consider that it would
be good policy.
Mr. Tenney said he did not care
whether it was good policy Or not he
asked it on behalf of the business
house he represents and on behalf of
the donation he will be asked to make
to the election campaign in few days
to one of the political aggregations.
Mr.. Cooke said he thought 1t could
be acted upon later and moved an ad-
iournment That did not get second. |
Clarence Cooke said to delay until after |
he convention would be dangerous and
n this he was supported by others. He
vas then informed that it would not |
work a hardship on any one TO wait |
until after the Territorial convention
,. H. Cooke said the men seeking no
nination were after endorsements. He
hought the merchants should snow
heir preference for the best men, not
It this meeting, perhaps. but after the
lose of the Territorial convention to be
,eld on Saturday. He believed the en-
lorsement would mean much to a can
,idate On motion action was deferred
Until next Tuesday.
