warrant their making the trip!

CT a man thoroughly ccnyersant with
conditions here. more especially with
reference to points Of interest to tour
lists This office should contain, views
of all sections of interest, Information
about hotels and statistics of every
nature referring to Hawaii. The du-
ties of the officer in charge should
include the keeping of statistics of
tourist travel 10 Honolulu. Hawaii and

arrival in Honolulu, advertise our
tourist attractions, promote excur-
sions of small and large parties of
tourists or residents OF Oahu or the
other islands. to Hawaii.
Under Board of Trade.
I This Office should be under direct
control OF the Hilo Board OF Trade,
and free from the direct influence oil
any individual hotel or transportation
company. The expense OF maintain,
ing this office should be met by sub
scriptions from Hilo business houses,
hotels and transportation companies,
collected and disbursed by the Board
of Trade. The fund now being sent 20
Honolulu by the board should be di.
yerted for the use of this office.
For years past local transportation
companies and hotels have expended
considerable money, with indifferent
results. in employing agents in Homo
lulu to further their individual inter-
ests. These companies would no
doubt be willing to pool their funds
for an impartial representation in Ho-
nolulu.
Information and advice from our
agent in Honolulu, whose object would
be the furtherance of travel to this
island for the benefit of the whole
community and not for the pecuniary
benefit of any firm or corporation,
would have more weight and wider In
fluence than that furnished by a trans
portation or hotel agent
This agent should work in conjunc-
ton with the Hawaii Promotion Com
mittee and give it the use of his ser
vices at all times when he is not d.
rectly engaged in Hilo's interests,
Yours truly,
G. H. Wears.
