at the station was three large flags,
American, British and French. The

shape, after which subscriptions will

Emil A. Berndt. chairman of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee, is
highly enthusiastic over the bright
prospects for the proposed amusement
garden, as he caIis 1t, in Kapiolanl

since the favorable talk about a Wal
XXI beach road has started and also
since the downtown amusement pier
plan failed to gain harbor board sup
port.
Everything is working towards the
Kapiolani park amusement park
plan, he declared, 'and l ex-

commencing it to the harbor commits
sioners and suggesting that they call
a public meeting to discuss it. If it

mean real fun for the local residents,
additional funds for the territorial
government and an added and invalu-

.Berndt says he favors some kind of
pavilion at the downtown water
front to accommodate the crowds at
Hawaii's two greatest and most pop

Carnival, but believes other amuse-
ments should be out on the beach at
the end and as a kind of an object

road. These work hand in hand, he
believes.

In advance of the annua. meeting

Of directors and stockholders alike.
1t has been suggested by some VI
the stockholders that it would lie ad-
visable to name director from each
of the islands. In that connection the
name of C. w Spitz was mentioned
from Kauai and C. A. Peacock of this
island. 1t was learned tO1ay. how
ever, that this plan would probably
be abandoned owing to the difficulty
in securing meetings of such directors
and the delays in holding such meet
