Whereas, Local pride appeals to

Threatened Disruption to Come

Hon will probably forro some kind of
action from tho Hoard of Supervisors
to preserve tho famous musical or
gaiilzntlnn. Thcro does not seem to
bo a dissenting opinion on tho propo
sition that tho band should be kept
up, and Hint If tho members need
moro pay, tioy should get It.
Tho matter will bo brought up by
tho Hawaii Promotion Committee this
afternoon. Kvery member of tho
commltteo as well as Secretary Wood
believes that tho band Is a big and
Indlspcnsablo feature in Honolulu life,
and that It deserves moro considera
tion than It Is getting from tho Hoard
of Supervisors. One of tlio' Influen
tial members or the commltteo tins
morning pointed out Hint nn ordinary
policeman, regardless of his qualifi
cations, gets more pay than n musi
cian who has devoted ycurs to tho
study of his Instrument.
The Promotion Committee is ex
pected to make some kind of recom
mendation in tho matter this after
noon, Tho committee can only give
Its moral support, but Its action will
undoubtedly be taken as an expres
sion of the sentiment of progressive
Honolulu.
Since the news wus published In

pay was innuequnto and they wore
