Neurology
In the death of Archibald Scott Cleg-
hcrn, the Chamber lost one OF its
charter members. Only four of the
Inotable group of twenty-five men who
on the Both day of June, 1888, were
granted a Charter by the Hon. Charles
IT.. Gulick, then Minister Of the Inter-
Tor to King Kalakaua, are still living.
The death of Honorable Henry p.
Baldwin, a member of the Chamber,
who was deeply interested in its
activities was severe loss to the
business community
investments.
As a result of careful management,
our bonds, sugar and pineapple stocks
continue to be sought after as being
among the safest and best of invest
ments.
As an indication of value of Hawai-
ian securities, it is interesting to note
that the $1,5OO,OOO of Territorial bonds
just placed, were subscribed for seve-
r0l times over, being sold at a good
premium.
Committees.
During the year, Mr.. d. P. r. Isen-
: berg was appointed on the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee to succeed Mr.. Nor
man Watkins, resigned.
Messrs. G. II. Cooke, Geo. 2. Denison
and J. D. Dole were appointed by me
! to represent the Chamber on the Ship
pers Wharf Committee,
A permanent Committee on 1nterna
tional Arbitration was also authorized
the first members appointed being w.
A. Bowen, R. F. LANCE, G. J. Waller.
l earnestly hope that the different
committees of the Chamber may keep
in close touch with the Sanitary, Har
1 Dor and Road Commissioners recently
appointed by the Governor, helping
cot and cooperating with them in every
way possible.
Trustees.
On June zSth, Mr.. r. Clrve Davies
was elected as a trustee, vice Mr.. E.
III. Wodehouse, resigned, on account of
protracted absence from the Territory
With this exception, there have been
no changes in the Board of Trustee
for the year 1910-1911. I am very
grateful to the trustees for the splen-
did manner in which they have taken
hold of the work of the Chamber. Their
cooperation and support have made my
years work for the organization much
lighter and more successful than it
could otherwise have been.
Conclusion.
Your president feels that he would
be neglecting an important duty if he
failed before closing this report to
make an earnest appeal to the men,
bers of the Chamber to take more
decided interest in the work of the
organization We are in need of more
get together spirit. Do not feel that
you have done your duty as member
of the Chamber when you nave paid
|, your dues and elected your officers and
! trustees. Do not argue that you have
e. reiegated everything on them, that the
e entire responsibility of running the
I Chamber is on their shoulders. Your
e. officers and trustees are entitled to
e your support and can do better work
= if they feel that they not only have
f your confidence but your active CO.
n operation.
) | feel that the present is the period
in our history with the greatest pos
sibilities and that to be successful we
= must stand shoulder to shoulder and
u work as never before.
1t would again urge upon the mem
bers the desirability of securing q
home of their own.
