1t was not deemed expedient to
seek funds early after the adjourn
ment OF the 1913 convention, as
straitened days were then upon us.
A few weeks ago the Ad Club of Hon,
olulu was requested to conduct can
vass. This is about completed. When
1t is finished, the income Of the com
mittee win be sufficient for its needs
as planned. The chief new work to
be undertaken with the use of added
money will be the employment of an
outside man at Honolulu His func.
tions will include reception, guidance
and entertainment of tourists at Ho-
nolulu. This is an enlargement of &C.
tivity that the committee has long
had in view, and which has been urged
upon 1t by many experienced men. 1t
soon will be a reality.
During the year 1915 some finan-
cial burden viii be taken from the
committee by the work of the informa.
ton and publicity bureau of our expo
sition people at the San Francisco
fair The committee has been request.
ed to undertake this work and already
has made extensive preparation for its
execution. With the continuance of
It's present support and with the as
