After much deliberation, the committee reported its final recommendation for the war memorial. According to the Historical Commission of the Territory of Hawaii, "the scheme evolved called for a memorial natatorium with a pavilion and attractive landscaping of Memorial Park, the swimming pool itself to be of Olympic proportions". On the opening day of the 1921 Territorial Legislature, Senator L.M. Judd introduced a bill for the construction of a war memorial at Memorial Park, to be funded by issuing territorial bonds. The bill specified that the memorial is to be dedicated to "the men and women of Hawaii who served during the great war" which was an expansion from the initial concept which was to honor the men of Hawaii who died in service during World War I. The bill was passed by both houses of the legislature and signed by the governor on March 15, 1921, becoming Act 15. Act 15, set three requirements for the design of the memorial: It is to be located at Memorial Park, Waikiki That it "shall contain a swimming course of at least 100 meters"; and All other design elements were to be determined by a design contest with features chosen by a Territorial War Commission appointed by the Governor. Territorial War Memorial Commission Act 15 provided for the formation of a Territorial War Memorial Commission to determine the features of the memorial beyond the requirements set out by law: the swimming course of 100 meters and the location. Governor Charles J. McCarthy appointed the members of the commission: A. Lester Marks, Chairman John R. Galt, Secretary A.L.C. Atkinson, later replaced by J.K. Butler Louis Christian Mullgardt, a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), was appointed as advisory architect to prepare general scheme for the park and to plan and execute a competition following the rules set forth by the AIA.
