Preliminary Work.
After the first meeting on June LIST,
general meetings were held on the
18th and on the 21st, at which reports
of committees were heard and the
work in hand discussed generally.
The attendance at all these meetings
and the interest manifested, was ex-
ceedingly encouraging.
The different committees all held
numerous more or less formal meet
ings, and the thoroughness of their
work is attested by the general
smooth way in which the actual clean
up work was carried out.
Reports from the chairman of each
of the subcommittee are attached
hereto and made a part of this report,
but desire to summarize very
briefly the work of these committees,
, as bearing upon the organization of
the work, and making more clear the
preliminary work of perfectipg the
. system.
Finance. There was generally but
a hazy idea of the amount Of money
=, necessary for the work. At first this
gave little concern for the reason that
the committee had been led to be,
lieve that $4,000 or $4,000 would be
, available if necessary, from the Board
; of Health funds, and that similar
+ amount could be counted on from the
business community through the Ship
l. pers' Wharf Tax Fund. Within a few
v days of the day set for the work
q however, the Committee was advised
-. that nothing at all could be expected
+ from the Board of Health, and i'm
n mediately following this announce
h ment request for assistance from
g thhe Shippers Wharf Committee me-
o with refusal. Thereupon the Com
Il mittee began a canvass among the
! larger business houses, and succeeded
Il in raising approximately $4,000 in cast
q for this work. In the meantime the
q matter of expense had been gone int
: carefully, with the result that it wal
q pretty well assured that this amour
20 would be much more than sufficient i
\ a campaign of one days duration onl,
.. were undertaken The Honolulu Mer
p chants Association also came to tn,
II. front with a subscription of $1,000, il
% case of shortage, and there we're on,
4 or two other anonymous offers O
20 generous amounts. None of thes
# were needed, however, since accord
ing to the report of the Finance Com
10 mittee, the total money cost of Clean
n. up Day was but S1,2O2.OO. Moreover
the general feeling that the flares
!, way of meeting this expense would b
from the voluntarily maintained WhaT
n Tax Fund, which is kept up indirectl
q. by the consumers of all goods enterin
this port, has become so strong tina
o. we are led to believe the guardians {
this fund may reconsider their frs
hi stand, and take over the bills in tot
incurred by the general committee.
ld Districting.-Th Districting Con
mittee subdivided the city into twely
Mt districts and appointed a general d
rector or captain to have charge
each, with the exception Of such di
