The Subscription Nuisar-y.
The Board of Trade =, its meeting
last Tuesday appointed a committee
TO take up with the merchants of the
city the matter of placing the subscrip-
ton nuisance on a business basis. The
matter was brought up by c. e. Wright
who suggested that a committee be
chosen which could pass on the nature
of the various subscriptions, selecting
those which should be supported and
wedding out those which did not seem
worthy of assistance The same com
mittee could decide on, pro rata basis
the proportion to be contributed by the
various houses and firms.
A motion by Cabrinha TO appoint
committee of three to interview the
merchants in regard to the matter, car
ried, and the chair appointed as such
committee Nichols, Castendyk and
Lindsay.
Alexander Hume Ford wrote asking
the Board of Trade to take a page adj
vertisement in the Mid-Pacific Maya
zine, at the rate of $500 year.
Richards expressed his opinion that
tie Board of Trade was too small an
affair to be able to contribute, as it
was able to use to better advantage
locally what little money it had. If
every one belonged to the organization
who ought to belong to it, it would be
different, but nine-tenths of the com.
munity seemed to be down on the
Board of Trade, though when they
were asked what was the reason to
tAeir opposition, they could give none.
Wright moved that the secretary be
instructed to write to Ford that the
Board of Trade was not in position
to support him, but that many Of the
members were already doing so in
dividually.
Williams said that Ford did not de-
serve any support if he published in
the Mid-Pacific Magazine articles
similar to those which he had publish
ed in other magazines. Thus in one
Washington magazine an article by
Ford was illustrated with picture
showing a bunch of half-naked savages
about a poi bowl while in another,
probably the New Age, Ford had
launched a savage knock at Hawaii
and the Volcano trip, while he on the
other hand was eXtolling to the clouds
Baleakala and Maui.
Wright said that he had read some
of these articles, but that he thought
that Ford had turned a new leaf. His
motion was finally carried.
A letter was read from the World /.
Peace Foundation, including a resolu-
ton favoring the settling of inter- /
national disputes by arbitration, and
on motion by Scott this resolution /
vas adopted.
Those present at the meeting were
Or. Elliot, Secretary Mckay, and
Messrs.. Scott, Wright, Watkins, I
Nichols, Cabrinha, Richards, Williams, /
Castendyk and Lindsay.
Hawaii's Loan Money.
HlLO, May 11.-According othe |
plans which have been made by Cover !
nor Frear in connection with the ex-
penditme of the 100000 in bonds
which was authorized to be expended .
On the belt road of this island in the
last session of the Legislature, the
present year will see but $15O,0OO of
this sum used. According to the Or
ganic Act only a certain amount of
bonds may be issued in any one year
ard for this reason a number of appro-
priations which were. made in the Loan
Bill will have to go over till a later
date.
One of the first matters for this is
land to receive attention, of those
which We're taken up in the loan bill,
will be the the construction of the new
wharf for Hilo, at which the ocean
going steamers may lie to load and
freight. Another important
tenn for this year is the building of the
new Hilo Union School school, for
which the sum of $4,000 was provid-
ed. The watershed needed for this
