JAPANESE ART PLACES.

JAPANESE ART PLACES.
Mr.. Gartley said that a feature which
would attract tourists here would be
some place set aside and adorned by
Japanese landscape artists. He sug-
gested Nuuanu stream below Hide
brands, near School street. as a wild
place where japanese artists could
work to advantage. There was an OPP
portunity for rustic bridges, teahouses,
etc. He said that II was true that
the policy of the people here had been
not to put forward the Oriental side
of life as an attraction for Hawai-,
but at the same time people come here
and are glad to see a touch of the
Oriental in the cosmopolitan life they
find about them.
Mr.. Spalding thought that one of the
islands inN the lagoons at Kapiolani
Park could be transformed into a Japa-
nese islet very easily. There could be
teahouse, which would undoubtedly
be self-supporting.
Secretary Wood read n letter from
Mr.. Marsh OF San Francisco, who has
| had several places in California trans
formed into Japanese landscape at
! fractions. in which Mr.. Marsh said ho
would be unable to come tn Honolulu
for the present.
The Promotion Committee considered
the project for razing Honolulu Hale
and the postmaster's suggestion to
make court or small park of the
place, giving him driveway there for
the handling of the mails also. Mr.
McCandless thought the old building
should come down. The Supervisors
will be addressed on the desirability OF
this suggestion.
1t was suggested also that the school
children be instructed not to throw
banana or orange peels on the side
walks The committee will take steps
to have the proper authorities place
receiving cans at the postoffice and
street corners for papers and other
rubbish that the streets may not be
Uttered.
