Zeno K. Myers-"I am inclined to
favor Honolulu Hale. The plan of hav-
ing all of the public buildings located
| in one part of the city is an excellent
one, but the general convenience of
the public should be taken into con-
sideration. The Honolulu Hale site is
very central and I should like to see
the City Hall located there
President James f. Morgan of the
Chamber of Commerce. am SO busy
with plans for a new Chamber of Com
merce building that | have had oppor-
tunity tic think of but little else | am
really not prepared to say where / be-
heve the City Hall should be located
City and County Auditor Bicknell-
= am inclined to favor the Gore lot
as City Hall site. Many people who
visit the municipal Offices also have
business in the Territorial offices, and
for general convenience | should say
the nearer together the buildings are
the better. There are many things,
however, to be said in favor of the
Honolulu Hale site
Hon. w. o. Smith think that the
ideal site for the City Hall would be
the lots now occupied by Honolulu Hale
and the postoffice. When the Federal
building has been completed, it should
be possible to secure the postofice site,
and the two pieces of property, thrown
in together, would furnish an ideal
location for convenient and imposing
City Hall. If the postoffice property
should not be available, | fear that the
Honolulu Hale land alone would not
give sufficient room. y
A. f. Judd-''I should like to see
the City Hall located on the Gore. I
believe in building to a civic center |
every time. Of course, / do not know |
that the Gore site is suitable to re-
quirements of such a building, but |
should it be / should like to see the |
City Hall located there''
County Clerk Kalauokalani-ssI be- |
lieve that the Gore would be the most |
suitable place for the City Hall. From
my observation | should say that it |
would be the most convenient to the |
greatest number of people,
Hon. Joel Cohen A man gets into /
the habit of going to one place and be I
soon comes to the conclusion that that /
is the only place to go to. i have heard |
lots of people say that the Gore is too |
far away, but I IL wager that if any /
of them measured the distance he would |
find the Gore just as near his place |
of business as is the Honolulu Hale. I |
favor the Gore every time. The district |
in the neighborhood of Honolulu Hale /
is going to be immensely valuable as
the center of the wholesale trade one /
of these days. Let US put the City
Hall some where else. 4
William Savidge-ss Honolulu Hale |
by all means. That is the only right |
and proper place for the City Hall. The |
Gore is too far away
A. L. Castle Put the City Hall |
alongside the Federal building. / think
Honolulu Hale an excellent site, but |
it is foo small This city is going to |
grow. The City Hall should be cen
trally located. Have it downtown by |
all means The Gore is entirely too far |
out. | like the Honolulu Hale site. but, |
as I said, I'm afraid that it is too
small
A. Z. c. Atkinson-ss The Gore is the |
only spot for the City Hail. I'm for
civic center. I should like to see the |
Federal building down there also. /
believe in having all of the public |
buildings punched. But don t believe |
in trading off Honolulu Hale to get the |
site. ] believe that the property |
should be purchased outright. Under
no consideration should we disposed of |
Honolulu Hale. =
Willard E. Brown-tsI believe that |
the City Hall should be nearer the |
center of the city than Palace Square
