To Open Atlantic
City Branch

the Promotion Committee was brief.
yet some interesting matters were
brought up for discussion. After
the minutes of the previous meeting
had been read, J. Mclean made the
motion that Captain Cooks monu-
ment at Kealakekua Bay. on the Is
land OF Hawaii, be cleaned and the
enclosure freed from weeds and
trash.
After q brief discussion, the Pro-
motion, Committee unanimously pass
ed q resolution empowering the sec
rotary to have this monument and
the enclosure cleaned.
For many years the British Go ."
eminent sent warship to Keala-
kekua Bay and landed force OF
uejackets to clean up Captain
Cooks monument. but since Hawaii
became Territory Of the United
States, the British Government has
ceased to take an interest in this
historical spot. United States naval
officers have been performing this
duty for some years, but they have
! now ceased to take an interest in
the monument, with the result that
1t has been sadly neglected.
