maintain and add to our position as
one of the strong commercial bodies
of the United States, and II we hope
to strengthen our influence In Con-
gress and elsewhere.
"The business interests OF not only
Honolulu but of the entire territory
will be benefited by such an enter
prise. While the work of the Cham.
Der In the past has proven of distinct
benefit to the Islands. feel that II
should be broadened and extended, and
this certainly can be much better ac-
complished II we own our building
than II we simply continue to occupy u
small room in another Office building.
The people generally will, / am sure,
take deep interest in such an under
taking, which will tend to make them
realize that the Honolulu Chamber OF
Commerce has a distinct and forceful
entity, and that the organization must
lie counted with In all that pertains
to the advancement and betterment of
conditions throughout the Territory.
Strangers coming to Honolulu from
the Mainland and abroad are constant
ly asking: where is your Chamber
of Commerce Building? Where are
your exhibits of the products and In.
dustries Of the Territory such as we
find In other progressive cities?"
Standing as we do ut the Cross Roads
OF the Pacific. much more is expected
OF us than of other cities elsewhere
ten times the size Of Honolulu.
! In the present room of the Chamber
third floor OF the Stangenwald Build
ing, may be seen the plans for n
! Chamber of Commerce Building, sub
mitted by two of our local architects.
BY these 1t will be noticed that the EN-.
tire upper floor of the building is re.
served for exhibits, excepting a small
space to be occupied by the secre.
tary's Office and the Information Blu
reau.
The ground floor and basement will
be rented for business purposes; the
second story will be arranged for Of
fees; the third story will have Di.
rectors' Room, Assembly Hall, cap
able OF seating fully Ave hundred peo
pie, besides another large room, which
can be leased to the Stock Exchange
OF some similar organization.
The contemplated cost will be about
as follows: Price Of land, $4,000;
suitable iour.story building. modern
in every detail, finished complete, $S2,.
900, making total OF $l25.O0O.
The average monthly receipts and
expenditures OF the Chamber accord.
ing to the prospectus, aggregate $1,000.
Morgan says:
Applications have already been re.
ceived Tor all of the ground floor, and
II number OF inquiries have been made
concerning ofiics floor space. Upon
the cCmY.elion OF the Federal build
ing, both stores and Offices will, in
, my opinion, be ut a premium.
As previously stated, plans have al
! ready b-,L submitted by two vi our
archite..a ta,essrs. j. II. Craig and II.
L. Kern, and additional plans are ex-
Iected from Mr. w. l.. Emory and Mr..
Edward q. Duisenberg.
The option on the lot am DESTROYS
OF securing will soon expire. There
fore, prompt action on the part of the
members of the Chamber Is necessary.

showing average monthly receipts and
expenditures. Please look over the
same carefully, and ! feel assured you
will be convinced that am offering
you a safe business proposition, one
that merits your approval and support,

lulu Chamber of Commerce.
