fairly satisfactory mosquito campaign.
There will probably be funds available
for a more efficient campaign than the
former one, which had but S125 a
month to carry it on.
'More or less work has been done
in the meantime by the sanitary ms
pectors but of a rather desultary ma
ture. They carry tins of oil about,
treating catch basins and stagnant
pools here and there.
IF these plans are carried out as it
is hoped they may be, judging from
the good results in the former cam
paign with limited funds, there is a
very good prospect going long way
toward the determination of the mos
quito.''
Mr., Mott-Smith went on to talk about
other branches of public health and
sanitation work in which the shippers
chart committee had become interested.

Ban KS
MERGER
IS OFF

The proposed big merger of banks,
whereby the First National Bank
and the Bank of Hawaii were to be
combined, is off. At a meeting of
the directors of the Bank of Hawaii
this morning, it was decided to give
UP the proposition, and the two banks
will therefore continue as before, as
Independent and rival institutions.
This mornings meeting of the di-
rectors of the Bank of Hawaii was
the first one at which the proposition
result of the discussion was a reso-
luton which ends the negotiations
to combine the two banks.
The plan to combine the banks had
almost been decided upon, though
without a formal discussion of the
matter by the directorates But this
mornings meeting of the directors of
the Bank of Hawaii brought forth
a different decision.
''It was decided" said Mr.. Clarence
H. Cooke, head of the Bank of Ha-
waii, that it was for the best inter-
est of the community and of the
bank, that the merger be not made.
The meeting today was our first dis
cJssion of the matter with a complete
representation on the board of direc-
tors. 1t was the opinion of the di-
rectors of the bank that the merger
would not be for the interests of the
community. We thought 1t better to
continue as a separate institution"

Cecil Brown, of the First National
Bank, said this afternoon: "Yes, nego-
tiations for the amalgamation of the
Bank of Hawaii with the First Ma
tional are off. The proposition has
been withdrawn by the Bank of Hawaii
people themselves. They had a meet
ing, l think on Saturday, and came to
the conclusion that it was not in the
public nor their own interests to ANAL
gamate at this time. We received their
notice to this effect this morning.
THE original proposal to amalga-
mate came from the Bank of Hawaii.
No advances were ever made from our
side. When the proposal seemed Co
be in acceptable shape, however, we
applied at Washington for permission
to increase our capital stock and OBJ
tanned such permission. Our next
move was to call a meeting of our
stockholders to be held on December 6
for consideration of and action upon
the proposal of amalgamation. In the
nature of things the business of this
meeting will fall fat
80 far as the First National is con-
oerned we are left exactly where we
were before. We will not utilize the
privilege of increasing our capital stock
granted us by the governmental least
for the present" 81

COOL DAYS COMING
WEATHER SHARP, SMITH EA
 PLAINS WHY THIS IS so.
storm Area Has Moved UP to st. Lawrence valley--settie Condi- tions For The Local
 District.

Cooler weather has been predicted for the Montgomery district or the state for the next two days by F. h Smyth, section director of the local weather bureau. 1t will be due to a high pressure area centered yesterday over wyoming. The influence of this cool wave is being felt as far east as the lake region and as far south as the Texas coast
 The rain yesterday afternoon, ac- cording to MT. Smyth. was due to the slight disturbance centered Wednes- day over Oklahoma. This disturbance moved Eastward yesterday into Mis- sissippi and caused showery weather over the cotton belt.
 The tropical storm. which swept the Gulf cosat Monday. is continuing on Gulf coast Monday. is continuing on terday 1t was moving down the St: Lawrence valley. MT. Smyth stated that 1t will likely pass off within the next twenty-four hours.
 The other tropical storm noted We'd nesday southeast of the Florida coast appears to be moving northward very slowly. The northward movement will be retarded by the high pressure area pushing inland from Wyoming.
 MT. Smyth also stated yesterday that bama river watersheds the past twen- ty-four hours had started the lower Coosa and the Alabama rivers rising Is is likely that the rise will continue for the next three days.
