The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-08-25

THE facts with regard to the tenders
for work on Alakea street, &C., are as
follows. One tender was handed to
Minister Thurston personally, three to
Mr.. Hassinger, and one to Mr.. Rowell,
all before the specified time, and that to
Mr.. Rowell day or two before. When
the tenders were opened, Mr.. Rowell
had not handed the one delivered to
him to the Minister, and the latter was
not aware of its existence. When the
tenders were opened Mr.. Harrisons
proved the lowest. When he asked if
the work would be assigned to him, the
Minister said he would have to see Mr..
Rowell first. The whole work was in
Mr.. Rowell's department, and before
any tenders were accepted, it is the GUS
tom for the Government to make it's own
estimates. An hour or two later Mr..
Roweu handed the Minister the sealed
tender containing Mr.. Gribble's offer.
This was more than $500 lower than Mr..
Harrison's, and of course was accepted.
The estimates of Mr.. Rowell were some
what lower than that of Mr.. Gribble, so
that in no case would Mr.. Harrison's
tender have been accepted. Of course it
was perfectly natural for Mr.. Harrison
to suppose that he had a grievance, but
in the above showing of facts it is equally
clear that he has none. On the other
hand, if the Minister of the Interior had
accepted his tender we think he would
have been justly censurable. There was
no reason in morals or law or common
sense, why the work should not have
been awarded, as it was, to Mr.. Gribble.
The whole work was in Mr.. Rowell's
department, and Mr.. Gribble's tender
was in the hands of the agent of the Min
lister of Interior before twelve O'Clock
Of course, as before said, Mr. Harrison
not knowing the facts might naturally
think himself hardly used, but the facts
show that the Minister has only done
his duty
