that steps should be taken to secure
more life members for the corporation

three be appointed to solicit life mem.
berships. There are many men in Ho-
nolulu who would, / am certain, take
out life memberships were the sugges-
tion made to them, said he.
Carter asked that the usual course of
procedure, which prescribes that a man
moving for the appointment of a spe-
cial committee shall be named as chair.
man of that committee, be broken, as
he would prefer that someone else serve.
The chairman expressed the belif that
Carter was just the man. however, and
named as the committee: George r..
Carter, III. F. Wichman and James F.
Morgan.
The suggestion was made that, as life
memberships cost only $50, it should
be an easy matter to induce persons to
| take them out, and the section of the
charter referring thereto was read for
the guidance Of the membrs.
