the japanese boarding school for

completed recently, will be dedicat-
ed in the presence of Consul-General
S. Uyeno. 1t is possible that Mayor

day
The erection of the building began
few months ago. 1t will cost, when
completed, 5000. There are enough

been received by Principal R. Nagai.
There are at present three teach
ers, who will serve under the prin
cipal. They have had long expert
ence in teaching, and came from ia
pan, ready to take up the profession
of instructing the little japanese
who were born here.

Will LOOK UP
Hotel RATES
Promotion Committee Hears
That Fifty Per Cent Raise
Has Been Made.

Inside of year rates in the
leading hotels have gone up 80 per
cent, it is reported to me- said
Bertram Won Damn of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee, at a meeting
of the committee yesterday after
noon.
while | do not know what the
committee can do about it, | feel that
it should be taken up. If this re-
port is correct, it will drive tourists
away"
Mr.. Won Damm's statement brought
out vigorous discussion among the
members, as result of which an
investigation of hotel rates will be
made by Mr.. Won Damn and Scare
tary Fl. p Wood. The committee
does not intend to start out by CEN
surfing the hotel management, but
wishes to inform itself thoroughly.
Mr.. McInerny stated the sentiment
of the committee by saying:
Raises in charges are made in
the shoe business and in the neWspa-
per business, as well as in the hotel
business, so let's find out if there
isn't good reason for the higher
prices, if they are charged"
Therefore, the committee will get
full information on the subject.
The meeting yesterday afternoon
was full of interest. Secretary Wood
had particularly cheering news con-
corning the proposed travel con-
gress,' and letters were received
from many sources promising encour-
agement and participation. Secre
tary Wood also reported optimistical-
ly on the prospects for the Floral
Parade.
A change in membership of the
kins, who has been an active and
valuable member, resigned and is |
succeeded by D. P. r. Isenberg. Mr..

has been so deeply interested in pro-
motion work, particularly in bauti-
flying the city that his accession to
the vacant chair is welcomed.
The future of the fresh fruit bus
mess in the Islands came in for
much comment, brought up by a let
