MERCHANTS GIVE
REASONS GALORE
FORBACkING OUT

Here are some OF the reasons why
| the merchants OF Honolulu refuse TO
get behind the unit plan of decora-
ton proposed to them by the Carnival

Carnival stock is being collected. "
! This assessment as a matter of fact,
was levied last year and only past
due payments are now being col

"Only some places were decorated
last year and We paid for IL
All decorations committees have
found that this is one of the almost in
superable objections to any unit plan
of decorations There are always
some merchants who will not join.
Then there are others who would join
but object TO carrying those who
won't The result is that in the end,
the whole burden falls on the shout
ders of the public spirited few
This condition is Oneswhich the Car
nival decorations committee resolved
yesterday by a vote of to . not to
perpetuate. Instead, the committee
resolved to recommend that the mer-
chants decorate their own premises
according to their own tastes.
These are not imaginary replies, in
vented to typify a general situation.
They are the actual answers received
over and over again by Clarence Wa
terman, a member of the decorations
committee who was detailed to go
over in person the eleven THOUSAND
and odd feet which the committee
proposed to decorate.
The result of his canvass was that
nearly half the territory mapped out
land that half included the cream OF
the district, banks, agencies and big
wholesale firms eXcluded) yielded an
average Of only about 80 cents foot
where SO cents was needed. If the
decoration scheme was to be put
through, the canvass showed that an
absolutely certain deficit must be
shouldered off on to the public-spirited
few.
This report was presented last Mon
day. The general decorations COM
mittee declined to accept it until a
further investigation had been made.
With additional data in hand, the COM
mittee met again late yesterday and,
AFTER an hour or debate, passed the
following resolution.
Resolved: That, after canvassing
one-half of the area which the decora-
tons committee proposed to decorate,
the results show that the merchants
of Honolulu are mot in favor of the
scheme presented to them by the CON-
mittee but are in favor of decorating
according to ytheir individual prefer
ences; and that,
Therefore. this committee recon-
mends that the merchants of Homo
lulu decorate their own stores individ-
ually and that this committee concen-
trate its energy on lighting effects.
I'VE also draw attention to the fact
that Joel C. Cohen is willing to dupli-
cate for 25 !cS1ts running foot the
scheme Of Hecoratfons erected last
year, for which STA running foot was
then charged" -.
