ernor suggests the certain items on
Chairman Woods latest estimate may
be readjusted so that more effective
results can be secured for the same
amount of money
AS stated by the Star-Bulletin some
time ago. the governor has never Civ
en- reason for any presumption that
he would oppose the expenditure of
the the 100000, and today's letter
shows that he favors it along the
lines of best results
I'VE can go right ahead now, We
know where we stand and We feel
that we have the firm support of the
governor said Chairman Wood after
receiving the letter The impression
given out in some quarters that the
governor opposed spending this mo-
ney was not correct He merely wish
ed to give the matter full considera-
ton, and we feel that his suggestions
are right TO the point and extremely
valuable for us"

Chairman Wood will leave on the
Honolulan next Tuesday for San
Francisco to take up the matter of 4
new site for the Hawaii building Fur
thermore, he says that Hawaii will
not have a $4,000 building, and the
commissions architect will be asked
to draw plans for structure that will
cost less money. President Moore OF
the exposition and Commissioner
James McNab, who was recently in
Honolulu, are working with the Ha-
wall commission to get the best re-
suits
The governors letter was addressed
to Mr. Wood as chairman OF the COM
mission, and was in response TO the

The Governors Letter.
The governors letter follows:
In acknowledging your communities
ton of the 24th inst, kindly permit
me to say that the territorial auditor
informs me that the balance in the
appropriation made by the legislature
is s9S, 997.
IF any obligations have been In
CURED, suggest that you inform the
secretary of territory, through whom
all expenditures must be authorized
and approved.
Il do not presume to advise You
or the commission, as you have had
experience in expositions. but from
the list of proposed expenditures fur
nished me. I am of the impression
that the items should be readjusted
in distribution Of amounts.
The amount set aside for enter
tainment and for individuals expenses
seem to me to be out Of proportion
to the cost Of the plant and exhibits.
Must Stay Within Limit.
1t is my duty to urge the restric-
ton of the expenses of the territory
directly. Indirectly, implicitly or by
moral implication, to within the
amounts authorized by the legislature.
The appropriation implied that the
commission is to carry out its object
as successfully as the funds win with
good Judgment and careful expendi-
ture admit.
Whatever assistance private gener-
osity may choose to tender your com
mittee is of course subject to your
discretion
