A DISGRACE TO TOWN.
COHEN WANTS THE BAND

Il
Secretary Wood stated that Joe Co
hen was thinking up a proposition to
take the band away to the mainland
for four months tour. He asked the
cooperation of the committee in infiu-
encing the Supervisors to consider the
matter. 1t was also suggested that
some effort be made to give the band
members the benefit of a whole years
salary, although they actually play in
Hawaii only eight months. Members
stated that the bands concerts at
Portland last year did much good for
Hawaii. Some said also that the band
should meet steamers on their arrival.
