the beginning Of next winters tour.
ist seasln are, first, the difficulty OF
getting tourists TO travel to Hawaii
IN the SIMMER, and secondly, mechan-
zeal difficulties making necessary a
general overhaaling and certain
changes, which would require nearly
two months for each boat7t5 stated IN
the report presented to Chairman L.
A, Berndt Of the Promotion Committee
BY Lorrfn A. Thurston, the commit
tees and community's representative
at the conference held in San Fran.
cisco with the cempary's officials, IN
an effort TO have theIiner retained in
the island service this summer.
After listening to Mr.. ThWston and
carefully considering the SIS 900 guar
antee proposition he was authorized
10 tender the company on behalf of
Honolulu. President l.. G.. Gilman and
General Traffic Manager Cal Stone an
nctinced their decision, giving the fol-
lowing reasons for taking off the
Great Northern until next November
or December: ........ =.-
First, that beth the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific had been de.
signed 10 connect the northern coun-
try with San Francisco, and that q
fair test OF normal business. OFT that
rim had not yet been attained, aud is
necessary. This needs both boats
kept en- that rim during the summer
and into the fall
Second, all advertising of the Ha
waiian run had been discontinued,
and agents notified Of the discontinu-
ance OF the island service. II it were
resumed now. il would consequently
be insufficiently advertised.
Third both steamers need geDer-
al oyerhauling urgently. as they have
been running on p and % knot
schedule for year.
Fourth. such oyerhauling would take
from three weeks to month for each
steamer. This would inferruDt re
schedule for two months. Certain
changes In both steamers are also
planned for the early fail This would
again interrupt the schedule for
about a month.
In view OF these facts. the company ]
has decided that the Great Northern
must be taken off the triangular run !
until next fall. Advertising of the re-
sumption OF the Hawaiian service al
that time will begin at once and be
vigorously prosecuted.
