that the decoration of the town at

COMMITTEES ALL RIGHT.
The chairman having thus stated the
object of the meeting, Mr.. George \.
Davis was elected secretary.
The chairman then called for views
of the members. Chief Taylor stated
that he was of the opinion that the
committees in Honolulu now at work
were doing all that could be reason
ably required of them in regard 10
arrangements for the entertainment of
the naval visitors, and that they could
well proceed with their duties without
awaiting for information and susges-
tons from the mainland, as such sug
gestions could after receipt be readily
incorporated in the program being pro-
vided now. He suggested that several
naval clubs be organized. which would
be really places of assemblage of me
men from the warships and might be
in the way of tents or other quarters
for such purposes. Mr.. Taylor also
suggested that this committee present
to the decoration COMMITTEES the idea
of having across the front of Punch
bowl at some prominent point the word
Aloha" in large electric letters.
RESTING PLACES NECESSARY.
F. ]. Lightfoot urged that places of
rest be provided in different quarters
of the city for the men to drop in and
rest themselves and possibly be sup
piled with lemonade, fruits. etc, and
stationery for writing home. The
chairman thereupon appointed Mr..
Lightfoot a committee of one to ascer-
tain what places could be obtained for
such purposes and the cost, which,
when received, would be submitted to
the executive committee for considera-
ton.
Joseph G. Pratt recommended that
the place of information as proposed
by Mr.. Taylor and of rest as proposed
by Mr.. Lightfoot, be added to by the
establishment of large comfort stations
all of which could be united under one
head and which unquestionably would
be an absolute necessity during the
an appropriation of sufficient money be
made to cover the care of such stations
and headquarters. The chairman re-
ferred the matter of cost to Mr.. Light
foot, also.
w. c. Weldon spoke strongly in IA
materials necessary TO enable the boys
of the fleet to write home, including
stamps, pictorial cards, etc, all of
which would be free and stated that
during the recent visit of the Big
Four, over 1i2 people were counted at
one time in the rooms of the Y. NJ c.
A. engaged in writing home. The
chairman stated that the matter of the
cost of this was left for future consid-
Grafton.
MORE POLICE NEEDED.
Sheriff Iaukea requested that the in
fluence of the committee be exerted in |
providing better police facility, in |
the way of caring for our visitors, as, |
such requirements |
would exist and the present facilities
were Inadequate. Upon vote the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted by the
members of the committee present:
Resolved. That in the opinion of
this committee extra precautions
and extra expenses will have to be
taken and incurred by the police
department in order to preserve the
public peace and preserve law and
order during the visit of the fleet.
That this committee by and
through it's chairman, urge the ex-
ecutive committee of the fleet en-
tertainment committee to recon-
mend to the Board of Supervisors
of the County of Oahu that they
make a special appropriation for
such purpose"
MI. SN amy upon DelHg called upon
1y the chairman stated that he did not
Know what the duties of the committee
we're to be and that If it did anything
1t all it might conflict with the COM
nittee already acting; in reply to
which the chairman stated that at the
opening of the meeting he had general
V outlined the duties of the other COM
nittees and what this committee might
10 without conflicting with the pro-
yram of others.
The chairman further stated that
perhaps in addition to the duties out
ined by himself that might be with
advantage taken up by this committee,
would also be the assumption of GER
ain Red Cross duties in the way of
assisting the police in looking out, as
vas suggested by Richard Ivers, for
accidents which might happen to visit
,rs. and be furnished with keys to the
alarm boxes by the sheriff in order to
all the hurry-up wagon or render such
assistance as might be needed in that
way.
