COMMERCIAL CLUB
BY F. |. WAlORON
President Com merCial Club.

mercial Club is the bringing together
OF so to 100 business men AT luncheon
every day, which has been the means
of establishing a more friendly COM
petition in business than is possible
where merchants get into the habit of
characterization with each other. Most
OF the improvements and up-to-datc
methods of business in Honolulu are
threshed out at the Commercial Club
luncheons.
In this connection, there Is at the
present time an effort among the Gov
ernors of the Club to build up among
the members proper interest In mu-
nicipal affairs and to impress upon
the business man that his watchful-
ness of the city's advance is a part and
parcel OF the success or non-success
of his own business.
The MONDAY talks given at different
times by prominent visitors and local
people have been very attractive as
has also been the social feature of
Ladies' Day" whereby the members
are permitted TO extend the club SER
vice to the ladies every Saturday.
The future of the Commercial Club
is as bright as the future outlook for
Hawaii. What can be more encourag-
ing?

while the Merchants Association
has had little occasion to take any
emergency action on public affairs
during the past year, the year has
been marked by a steady progress in
all lines of its activity.
In conjunction with the Chamber
of Commerce, II has discussed and
acted upon public and scmi-public is

reaching the desired ends. The har-
mony with which the association
works with the Chamber of Commerce
is pleasing to all the members.

the big things, accomplished.

pany. one that would he just to pub
nc and private interests alike, was n
notable example. The franchise ms
finally agreed upon conceded In III
main provisions with what the pub
lie, through the Improvement clubs,
asked for aud felt was Its due.
Improvement clubs were success
fully organized in upper Nuuanu, low
or Nuuanu, upper Kalihi ana Kaka-
ako, districts where the need of such
organizations was pressing.
As corollary to "Clcan.up Day
there was formed an organization of
citizens ana a system of public SER
vice that would be of immediate aid
10 the city In time of epidemic or
any unforeseen disaster. This organ
jgation was called upon tentatively
by the citizens sanitation committee
at the first news of yellow fever here,
but unfortunately there was no out
break and the assistance of a large
body of public citizens was therefore
unnecessary.
Many lesser matters, each vital to
he needs of the city and each call
ing for speedy attention, have been
taken up and in the majority Of cases
have been decided according to our
plans.
Much work just as important is be-
fore the committee for next year. A
new set of officers will be installed
shortly, for the organization believes
in rotation In Office. The work calls
for devotion of time and intelligence,
but the development and the progress
of the city richly repay the efforts
spent in its behalf.
