CHAMBER Of COMMERCE
ELECTS OFFICERS

The annual meeting of the Kauai
Chamber of Commerce was held at
Lihue on Thursday with representa-
tive attendance of goodly numbers. 1t
was noticeable that there was a good
turn out from the Kapaa Homestead
region in spite of inclement weather
and bad roads.
After the usual preliminaries the
President called for reports. The
Treasurer submitted his annual report
showing receipts $755.OO. Expendi-
lures $356.S4, balance in hand $6S4.49
together with $1676O in War Savings
Stamps.
The committe on nominations pre-.
sented their slate as follows:
Judge Dickey the New President
l.. A. Dickey president; X. C. Hop
per, vice-president; ]. NJ. Lydgate,
secretary; ]. |. Silva treasurer; X. C.
Ahana, auditor.
The report was accepted and the
slate was adopted as it stood.
The president elect was conducted
to the chair and the retiring president
made brief review of the year, point
ing out the very substantial accomp
| lishments that had been made, and
thanking the members for their cord
ial support of his administration
Review of the Year
Under the former head he instanced
the satisfactory outcome of years of
effort in connection with Puukapele
park. When it seemed to be practi-
cally a dead issue, as the result of an
adverse report from the sanitary ex
perts, the Chamber secured the per
sonal advent of the Governor and his
party, and convinced them that the
park scheme was alright, and worthy
of the strongest official support. The
result was that in a few weeks the
| final action was taken and the park
secured to Kauai beyond recall.

year has been the rounding up of the
Nawiliwili harbor project to the point
where the federal authorities admit
that we have complied with the re
quirements in regard to railway con
nections, etc, and all that remains
now to be done, is the payment of the
! 100000 by the Territory, in order to
secure the Federal appropriations and
the execution of the work.
The attendance, and interest in the
meetings had beeA very good during
the period, and he felt that it had
been very su q ssful and satisfact-
Dry year.
MIR. Lydaate moved a rising vote of
appreciation and thanks to the retir-
ing president for the excellent service
which he had rendered the chamber.
This was unanimously carried.
Progress at Puukapele
Mr.. Brandt begged to report progress
on the Puukapele road and water
works. The road is in much better
shape than it was at this time last
year, Notwithstanding the fact that
little or no work has been done on it.
The waterworks enterprise is APP
preaching completion. The pipe line
tunnel is all finished but about 80 feet
Some hard rock was struck which
| caused a good deal of delay. The pipe
has been laid, and only this small gap
remains to be filled. Being second
hand pipe, some leaks have develop
ed but these have been fixed up. 1t
will deliver a good stream of water
more than adequate for all park pur-
poses for a long time to come.
Hurry Relocation Thru Cane
Mr.. Cheatham inquired as to chang
es, or relocations OF the road to be
made through the cane belt at the low,
er end. 1t seemed very important
that any change of location should be
made as soon as possible. After the
cane had pretty well grown up, it
would be much more difficult to locate
