To WIDEN ITS SCOPE

With practically the entire member

enjoyed an excellent dinner at the
Palm Cafe last night and held meet
ing at which steps were taken toward
enlarging the present scope of the body
as regards membership.
President Dan Logan presided and
named a committee which will draft a
plan for the changes deemed necessary
in the constitution and report at an
other meeting of the club to be held
within a few days. If the proposed plan
of reorganization goes through, the
club is expected to forge rapidly to the
front as an organization.

of the club that Hamilton w. Mabie,

Club is studying the grounds sur
rounding the new Library of Hawaii
building with view to preparing it
for lawns, trees and shrubbbery. Mrs

the grounds yesterday. One Of Mrs.
Lewis recommendations will be the
early removal of the iron fence and
stone wall on the Likelike street side
of the capitol grounds with a view to
making the capitol and the library
grounds all one, thereby bringing the
library building into the area of the
public buildings already constructed.

cause a demand for greater passenger
accommodation the demand will be fully
met.
1t is possible in the event of the new

that its steamships may eventually re-
