COMMITTEES supmits Report.
fTo the Presidents and Members Of
the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce
and the Merchants Association.
g Gontlenen; The Joint committee,
appointed by the presidents Of your two
ofeahizations to draft bylaws for the
amalgamated bodies, herewith presents
for formal adoption a final draft Of by
laws. Your committee made a prelfmi-
nary report during the last week Of
March, shortly after which several
amendments were suggested by mem.
befs OF both bodies. Since that time,
two further meetings Of the committees
have been held at which practically All
the Changes suggested have been
adopte1. w.
..si'he matter Of providing that a com
mittee Of the chamber take the place
Of, and carry out tho work Of, the Ship.
perss Wharf Committee was also 70.
ferred to this joint committee with the
request that IL endeavor to bring about
thus situation and cover the tiutics Of
this committee IN the bylaws. The
chairman presented the matter TO the
wharf committed which has
been accepted BY them in the form I'M
'corforated IN these bylaws. This com
mfttec is called the public health com.
mittee, us the name shippers wharf
committee Is practically q misnomer.
The present shippers wharf committeo
wal, however, have to continue until all
the funds in its hands have been ans
persed, the new committee receiving the
funds which are contributed by the mer-
chants and holding them until such
time as disbursements from these funds
nre needed.
Two Titles Suggested.
There Is but one matter which the
committee has thought best to refer to
the members of both organizations for
final settlement. That Is the name Of
the association. The committee there
fore recommends that vote be taken
at this meeting as to whether the or
'ganization shall be called the Greater
Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, or
simply, the Honolulu Chamber Of Com.
.meree, / might state that the main rea-
son given for the use Of the word
1 Greater is that IL shows the oraani.
ration is an amalgamation Of one or
more commercial bodies. Fhis word has
been used in several cities Of the main.
land where amalgamatfons have taken
place of different commercial bodies, as
Is now taking place IN this city. Con.
Iseqiently, many feel that the word,
Greater should be included in the
name TO show this fact. There have
been also several other reasons ad.
yaneed why the word, Greater should
be used, but the above seems to be the
principal reason given. The committee
therefore request that vote DO taken
on this matter at the time the bylaws
are formally adopted.
The committee has endeavored in
its work TO provide bylaws which will
be best suited to the needs of tho larger
organization and sincerely trust that
they win prove to be comprehensive aud
practical. st'B ~ "a
