HILO BREAkWATER
Continued From Page One.

"1ou will note that the joint com
mittee, after carefully considering all
of the various phases of this question,
has recommended against signing the
letter proposed by the Hilo Board of
Trade and supports the plans adopted
by Major Winslow as being in the best
interests of the Territory in general.
"You Will also note that in case the
eport of the joint committee is adopt

warded to the Hilo Board of Trade and
Major Winslow.'
1t was explained in the meeting that
since the Hilo Board of Trade made the
request to have the letter to Bixby
signed, the Hiloites had reconsidered
their attitude. The complaint, it seems,
had arisen through misunderstanding
of the plans, general agreement being
reached when the plans were more fully
explained. Under these conditions, the
local bodies are acting in accordance
with, rather than against. the Hilo
Board of Trade and the other associa-
tions of the southern town.

f00neration and assistance; and be it
further
Resolved, That the delegate to con
gress from our Territory be requested
to use his influence to secure for the
exposition in San Francisco, government
endorsement and recognition
A letter was read from the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce explaining
the steps that have already been taken
in regard to the exposition. The letter
is as follows:
1.-The Panama Pacific international
Exposition will celebrate the compile
tion of the Panama Canal and promises
to be the greatest exposition ever held.
1.-The citizens of San Francisco will
have raised, by popular subscription,
s. ,500.0 900; through a State tax, $1,000
0O0, and others means making a total of
