being greatly In the majority. A com
mittee was appointed to handle the ar
rangCments and to work together with
the Board Of Trade committee having
the same object in view.
President David Ewaliko OF the labor
union called the meeting to order. and
called on Deputy County Attorney

This meeting has been called for
the purpose Of making arrangements
for the celebration OF the Fourth of
July" said Heen. at has been called
under the auspices of the Hilo Labor
Union. a week or SO ago the Board
of Trade had a meeting with the same
object in view, but II seems that some
Of the members are dissatisfied there
with, claiming that II was not repre-
sentative enough, as there We're not
enough members of the general public
present. II Is on account of requests
made by n number of them that the
labor union has called the meeting for
full discussion of the matter"
Ewaliko called for nominations for a
chairman. Brughelli was nominated
and elected by unanimous vote. but
he declined. John Bohnenberg was next
selected, but he followed BrughellTs eX-
ample and IIeen was finally chosen.
Kualii said that all those present
We're now American citizens, and 1t
was therefore up to them to celebrate
the Fourth of July. lie suggested that
n monster parade be formed. marching
from HOolulu Park to Hilo In the day
| time, and that at night torchlight
procession be formed In order that the
| people of Hawaii might show their pa =
| triotism to George Washington.
BOhnenberg commented. In regard TO
| Brughellis suggestion, that there was
not single county official present
| with the exception of the deputy coun-
" attorney. The supervisors and the
sheriff were conspicuously absent. The
meeting called by the Board of Trade
had been the cause of u lot of dissat :
| isfaction. and II was proper that some
action be taken.
Ewalko remarked that, while he had
no children Of his own, he was fond
of Riddles just the same, and he did
not want to have their pleasure forgot
ten when the arrangements We're made.
A committee should be appointed to
| confer with that selected by the Board
of Trade and to collect money by sub
! scrlption. The suggestion of Mr..
Thurston to have fireworks was a very
good one, as this was n feature which
could be enjoyed by everyone.
Charles Kaohu suggested that the
! program might include n canoe race
| for women over n course from Hilo to
Waiakea. Swimming races would also
be good sport.
Pomeroy called attention to the fact
| that the celebration could not be pull
| ed off without money. He thought II
best to raise the money first and then
| to decide what to do with II. A collec
ton committee should be appointed.
Ewallko endorsed Pomeroys sugges-
\ ton, and added that a committee
should also be appointed to consider
! suggestions In regard to the form of
/ the celebration. The labor union and
4, the Board OF Trade could appoint a
joint committee to raise funds and do
! the rest Of the work
