other person would probably do the
work outlined by your committee with
less friction at the outset. Our ex-
perience in this work leads US TO be-
lieve that there are more selfish than
public spirited citizens, at least in our

INTERESTED
City Improvement Plan
Meets With Much
Approval.

Honolulu is certainly enthusiastic
over the city Improvement scheme
judging from the number of letters
received in answer to the committee
circular letter, asking for support OF
the project.
The circular letter was sent out to
a large number of citizens selected by
Mr. Spalding of the committee who
districted the city so that various per-
sons should act as organizers in their
respective sections.
The Promotion Committee is gratified
at the ready response of citizens. Mr.
Spalding and Secretary Wood ask that
those who have not yet responded do
so at their early convenience, stating
whether they can serve or not, or IL
they have suggestions to make, to
make them.
The offer of Mrs. Eliza Wilder. as
given in her letter printed below, was
acted upon favorably. She proposes
to furnish Golden Shower trees for the
full length of Pensacola street, both
sides. The Promotion Committee en-
dorsed this scheme of street improve
ment.
One letter was from Superintendent
Holloway endorsing the committees
action in requiring that tree trimming
by the telephone and electric light
be done under trained su-
pervision The letters referred to are
as follows:

Promotion Committee, Honolulu.
NV Dear Mr.. Wood: At the meeting
of the Honolulu Improvement Com
mittee, held on Friday evening, Janu-
airy 5, the question of the Improvement
of Pensacola street came up for dis
cussion, as the result of an offer made
by Mrs Eliza Wilder, widow of the
late w. c.. Wilder.
Mrs. Wilder, desiring that Pensacola
street be lined with Golden Shower
trees, offered to contribute for the
work 100 plants which she now has on
her grounds, growing in sake tubs.
After due consideration the committee
adopted the following resolution:
BE it Resolved, That it is the rec
ommendation of the Honolulu I'm
provement Committee that Pensacola
street from Lunalilo to Wilder avenue
be planted with Golden Shower trees,
the trees to be set along the outer edge
of the sidewalk, as near 80 feet apart
as is consistent with the intersections
of the side streets, and other reasons
interfering with regular spacing. Be it
resolved, further, that the committee
express it's appreciation of Mrs Will
der's generous offer, which is hereby
accepted" very sincerely yours,

nlittee.
