'The Promotion Committee will have
70 go slowly for a time said f. I.
Spalding at a meeting of that organ
ization held yesterday afternoon in the
Promotion rooms. Mr.. SpaIding then
outlined the situation the committee
was in financially. OF the $1,000 collect
ed monthly as wharfage fees, the prin-
cipal support of the committee the
Board of Health had commanded $500,
having urgent necessity for that
amount. This leaves the committee
somewhat stranded in the meantime
Outside of this dampener at the
start the meeting of the committee
brought out some very favorable re-
ports.
The work of securing the opening up
of driveway along the Nuuanu stream
and the parking of the government
land there, which has been taken in
hand partly by the committee was re-
ported by Mr.. Spalding to be assum-
ing definite shape. The place had been
visited and d number of property own
ers interviewed in regard to granting a
right-of-way for the proposed road. in
some cases the owners falling in read
lily with the wishes of the committee
It vas thought that with the coopera-
Sion of the government the road could
go in.
