Missions acceptance of the plans of
the building as submitted by Archi-
tect G. W. Dickey, has practically
forged the last link in the commits
sion's plans. Some changes have been
made in the original plans, and a new
ground plan including these changes
is soon to be submitted by the archi
teot. Considerable tine was taken in
listening to the report of the chair
man, who outlined. the details OF his
recent visit to San Francisco. The
plan to have Separate building for
an aquarium, he said, was not favor
sbly considered by the exposition of.
ficiaIs on account of the great cost,
and therefore Hawali's display of den
liens of the deep will be confined to-
the territory's building.
The chairman laid special emphasis
on the matter CT the great enthusiasm
which the Philippines are taking in
the exposition, sa9fhg they are pre-
pared to spend $5y0, 900 on their ex
hlbit, and can secure more funds If
necessary. However, it. is expected
that Hawaii will be as well represent
ed-as any other country or teri tory;
and with the opening of the branch
Office e. the local premotfon ,comnit-
tee in San Francisco in November a
great campaign of publicity wig be
started which will serve to attract to
Hawaii both the travelling public and
those who will attend the exposition
in 1915. E-
Taking up the matter CT the Hawaii
building, the commission decided that
it would be inadyisable to have an ex.
hfbit on the second floor, voting to
reserve that portion for the serving
of refreshments. The Sugar Planters
Association has applied for space
40x4e, in when it will have model
sugar mill in operation and also
large diorama of A sugar plantation.
The coffee, sisal. tobacco and pine
apple growers will each have an ex-
hIbit. 49,. ~.. -: ~ j.: - ~
