he suggestion is also made that they

The letter reads:
Are you in favor Of continuing tho

II you will, the parade and its success

As you are probably aware, there
has been some talk Of eliminating this
feature of the 1915 carnival, the board
|of directors and the writer feeling
that possibly there might be some
other feature the public would prefer
for change: However, there. have
been a great many communications
addressed to the director-geueraI and
members Of the beard of directors re-
aaesting that this feature be retained
ny all means, especially as it has been
an annual event peculiar: to Honolulu.
These requests have. come from resi-
dents and visitors alike and as a con.
sequence il is the desire OF the liree-
tor-general that an expression be had
from those who can make a floral
parade a success.
Unless the owners of automobiles
are willing to participate. considera-
ton Of the parade is useless; ,proyid-
ed that they are, it is the desire of
all concerned that the parade be had
