with the scheme for connecting the To-
lani School grounds with the cathedral
close.
1t is our intention and desire that
the members of the church in these
islands, as well as the general public,
shall have a full opportunity to criti-
else these plans and the design, for we
feel that st. Andrews cathedral. be-
ing ore of the leading examples Of
architecture in Honolulu, belongs to
the whole town. and it is our desire
that this memorial shall not only bear
a part in the religious life of our
church, but that it shall give pleasure
to all those who pass by
We shall reserve the right to make
any alterations that may suggest
themselves to US or which. as a result
of the public criticism of the plans,
may commend themselves to us.
L hope that you viii see your way
to accept this memorial, and I have
the honor to be, sir, your obedient
servant,
(Signed) T. Give DAVIES.

appointed at the 1906 Easter meeting
of the congregation of St. Andrews
cathedral to report on the subject of
to report as follows:
The resolution under which We were
appointed reads as follows:
ION motion duly seconded and car
ried the Dean was requested to ap-
int a committee of three to consider
the matter of the erection of tower
to the cathedral as a memorial to the
late Mrs. Alice Macintosh
The committee appointed consist of
Messrs. Give Davies, chairman; A. L.
C. Atkinson and Robert Cation. Mr..
Atkinson being absent has not been
able to pass on the report.
We have conceived our functions to
be to learn what forms OF memorial
have been suggested, what these would
be likely to cost, what memorial would
be most suitable and acceptable to the
friends of the late Mrs. Macintosh
whether or not connected with the
church, and what would be at the same
time feasible financially.
We have found that at the outset
there were two typical suggestions as
to the form the memorial should take.
l. That it should take the form of
some work of mercy or benevolence in
the town.
2 That So specific building in
with the cathedral or work
of the parish should be erected.
/. Under this heading, the following
have been suggested:
(a) A rest house for the accommo-
iation of ladies of advanced years left ,
without income.
OBJ An endowed ward in the Queens |
or the Leahi Home.
(c) The endowment Of one or more
beds in the Queens Hospital Or. the
1eahi Home.
>. The views under the second head
Ire much more concise:
A west end TO the cathedral being
impossible at the present time, the sec
md type of memorial proposed is CEN
cred on the building OF a tower TO the
athedral.
The cost of these various proposals
5 estimated as follows:
Rest House. a house for four
ladies with an endowment fund
of $11,5O0 .-...--.s zo,VJo
Hospital Ward To fully endow 10000
Bed in the Queens Hospital. 5000
;ed in the Leahi Home. 6,09o
over to the Cathedral. 10000
We have concerned ourselves to find
ut the views of Mrs. Mackintoshs
amily as well as of representative men /.
rom the general public of Honolulu
n these different proposals; and we
ave tried to ascertain the feelings or
ne church people themselves
We gather that it is the opinion or
re majority that no new institution
Mould be started-such as rest
louise, requiring a new set of officers
but that though attached to an ex-
ting institution, the memorial should
Ike so distinct an ate form
