the location of the fountain were pro-

of King street and Kalakaua avenue
and the Library of Hawaii. No loca.

vorcd fountain which would serve
both human beings and animals.
1t is probable that the committee
may raise funds for the fountain by
private subscription. 1t is believed
that there will be little difficulty in
raising the fund, for Miss Dawson was
known all over the Territory and her
work brought her in contact with the
rich and the poor among all nationali.

tions. a local architect will be en-.
gagged to draw up the plans for the
fountain.

lowing:
'The year 1913 has been a disas
trous one to the Hawaii Humane So
ciey in that we have lost our humane
officer, Miss Rose Dawson, whose work
is beyond praise. Wonderfully efficient,
her strength of body and qualities of
mind made her a humane worker far
above the average. She was a grand
power in this society and her loss was
crushing blow to us. We feel that
we are fortunate in having secured the
services of two other efficient workers
who have carried on Miss DavisonIs
work since she left us, and we thank
them heartily for their efforts to make
good our great loss and we look for
word hopefully to the future, and enthu-
