Prcsidcnt George R. Carter announced
al yesterdays meeting Of the trustees
Of that body that it was up to then
20 show that the organization is alive,
and he psoSed It BY presenting a lot Of
rcdhot propositions that are Of inter
EST to and win benefit an Honolulu.
Honolulu ought to have silk fac
tory, be said, as starter "Prscti'
cally All the raw silk manufactured I'M
the United States goes past our doors
Is manufactured in Paterson, New der
sey, or Easton, Pennsylvania, aud is
distributed as manufactured product
from these centers TO all parts Of the
world, he said. Hawaii has an album
dance Of cheap labor, cheap fuel sup.
plies arc at our doors in the California
oil fields, he stated, and it certainly
looks as though Honolulu would be the
most suitable location for lt factories.
On motion, President Carrier was an-
tEorized to place this matter In the
hands Of special committee, consist
ing Of 2. y. rcnney,. George n Dawes
and James D. Dole, TO correspond with
the Paterson siik manufacturers to sec
whether they can be induced to trans
fer some OF their plant TO this city, or
whether others can be Interested

The next suggestion offered By Gov.
rnor Carter was that the chamber OF
commerce investigate the possibility OF

leach, possibly In connection with the
public baths The idea would be to
bpiId 4 large wharf out over the water.
with dancing payilions, sLoot-t. q
ehutes, boat landings and all tho ar
engagements for the entertainment OF
Z tourists and Wis tors provided at ssa.
side resorts along the Atlantic Coast.
George Davies suggested that the
beach ought to fbe in. roved, coral re-
moved and letter tathing faeilit a.
provided. The matter OF seeming an
amusement wharf was referred to the
Promotion committee
Pearl Hsrbor Drydock.
After routine matters had been dis.
posed Of, action to secure the compile |
ton OF the Pearl Harbor drydock was
considered. Recent files OF the Coast
papers Indicate that strong Efforts are
being naderby various interests in san /
Francisco TO have the navy depai tment |
lrensier the unexpended balances Of /
the appropriations Tor the Pearl Harbor
'nfydoek and make the same immedi. |
qtely available Tor the construction OF |
faftlfsnip drydock ut San Francisco. /
Letters have been published that would l
seem to Indicate that Secretary Daniel |
is not nnfavorabIy disposed towards
fuch transfer OF iunls.
AR. Spalding said that il was incon.
ecirable that the government should |
after sxIending millions of dollars over |
a long series or years, decide 10 ahan.
don plans which are Of such vital i'm
poriaDcc. Mr. Davies said that the l
leari Harbor developments are a part |
Of the plans for rational defense. and |
ne did not believe that congress would /
% influenced BY considerations otlier
than those Of founding here In Hawaii |
naval asc fer the protection Of the
iati1e Coast agn nst foreign invasion.

The San Francisco greater chamber
has given its support TO the Pearl Har.
tor docks and Notifications. The Ho
nolnlu chamber Is closely afIiliatel \
with the San Francisco chamber. 30
that an inquiry addressed to the Cali. |
fornia organization will undoubtedly
elicit defihite information as to what 1
material basis there may be for the
Newspaper talk in San Francisco.
