100000 CLUB IS
OUT FOR CLEAN
Il. HONOLULU
Continued From Page ~

I l.,
of Il canvasser in making personal
solicitation up to and including Janu-
airy Is. 1911 on this date | discon-
tnued the service of the canvasser for
the reason that / found this method
of securing members impractical and
entirely too expensive in consideration
of the small membership fee the club
charges. There must be change in
our method of securing members, and |
would recommend that the executive
committee outline a system whereby
our membership can be increased more
rapidly and at a nominal cost to the
club. | Go not think an organization
like the. Honolulu Hundred Thousand
Club, having for it's object the increase
of population and the Identifying of
our city, should be compelled to pay
for membership. l believe that every
man. woman and child in the city
should indicate their Willingness to
build up and improve Honolulu by vol
unfairly Joining the club and agreeing
to boost in every way they can.
"Names of Prospective Residents.
81 find that great many of those
who have applied for membership in
the club have failed to furnish us with
the names and addresses of people liv-
ing outside of the Territory. Accord
ing to our bylaws, no one is eligible
to membership and can not secure
their certificates, until they supply us
with at least two names.
Newspapers.
"The newspapers of the city have
extended the club every courtesy and
assistance that could possibly be eX-
pected The Advertiser, b III | e i n,
Star, Mid Pacific Magazine and Para
disc of the Pacific have offered us the
use of their advertising and news col
umns without any cost to the club, and
| think they should be extended the
thanks of the executive committee.
"The most important purpose of the
tion is the beautifying Of our city, Ma
ture has endowed us with scenery,
flowers and climate that can not be
surpassed by any other place in the
world, and all that is necessary to
make our, city beautiful is cleanliness.
The club itself can not undertake the
work of cleaning the city. but can in
augurate and conduct a campaign to
encourage and induce every property
owner to clear their premises of all
old shrubbery, decayed vegetation, tear
down old diapidatcd fences, undesira
BILE buildings, remove the grass from
and improve their sidewalks, put a
little paint where needed, and improve
and freshen things up generally AS
for a plan for bringing about this
movement, | suggest that the executive
committee offer the first annual prize
or its value, to the person who will in
duce the property owners in the city
to sign pledge Qorm of which to be
furnished by the club that they will
keep their premises clean and i'm pre-
sentable condition for a period Of five
years. The club to establish City
Beautiful Roll and under this heading
publish weekly or monthly the names
and addresses of all who sign the
pledge and Keep it.
II would recommend that the club
be represented at the coming carni-
val Just what part the club can take
do not know, but it seems to inc
that something could be done"
Following the recommendations OF
Secretary Stanton. Edwin ID. Caster
line was appointed assistant secretary
1t was suggested that an additional
prize of trip to the Volcano House
and return be given to the person first
securing 500 yearly members tn the
club, and appropriate prizes to those
securing lesser numbers. This idea
was adopted and the list and condi-
. tions win appear in public print later
