CABLE MATTERS.

1t is to be- hoped that the Gov
ernment is not contemplating a
return to exclusive franchise
work In the cable business. For
not few years this country has
been dancing TO the cable tune of
corporation and individual fid-
dlers and so far as practical re
suits are concerned we are Just
where We started from. except
perhaps, little more exhausted
and exasperated. Tangible re-
suits have not been forthcoming.
Possibly the agitation has not
been without some good effects.
Even nations have to experiment
before reaching proper solutions.
We would now suggest that the
country take Il vacation from
granting exclusive rights. The
officials and the people have de
monstrated clearly enough that
"A cable is wanted and they are
willing to render substantial aid
to man or collection of men who
will proceed 10 lay cable.
The time has come when the
Government can afford TO make
known that it will consider fran
chises and subsidies when assur
ed that the cable will be con
structed. If exclusive franchises
must be granted, capitalists. pro
moters. etc. should be made to
understand that the first com
pany that constructs the cable
from Hawaii 10 San Francisco,
Japan or Australia will get the
prize; that the Government
of Hawaii has determined not to
attach itself To any cable ships
floating ON paper and possible
support from some other country.
After several years of valuable
experience the people have come
to the conclusion that they will
hold cable privileges open to all
Corners but they will tie up un-
reservedly for any period. be it,
lOngAor short, TO no one.
We do not desire to speak
desparagingly of the efforts of
the men who i'll the past have,
armed with the Hawaiian fran
chise. fought honestly and brave
Nv to obtain assistance from other
governments. They have worked
hard and deserve an immense
amount of credit. But the dis
agreeable fact remains. that we
are still without Il cable. All of
which goes to show that Hawaii
may grant us many franchises as
it pleases. but nothing will be
accomplished until the United
States takes positive action. Ha-
wall has discovered that in this
cable business the tail cannot
wag the dog. Consequently the
people are disposed To swallow
their cOnceit and request the Gov
eminent to hang out new sign

ASPHALT COMPANIES RAGING.
Protest that New Company Will Use
Inferior Material


A few days ago the Board of Public
Works awarded a contract for repairing
all permanently improved streets on which
the guaranty had expired to the Germo-
Kentucky Asphalt Company new COM
petitor, at considerably lower figures than
the old companies asked. This aroused
their ire of the old companies and they
came before the board yesterday and asked
that the contract be set aside, alleging ir
Irregularities in the proceedings by which
the contract was let. Byron K. Elliott APP
peared for the Western Paving and Supply
Company and the other old companies. He
said that the specifications of the board
called for standard Trinidad, Bermudez or
other asphalt equally as good. He pre-
sumed as a matter of course that the board
would not pretend to say rock asphalt was
as good as Bermudez or Trinidad.
w. L. Taylor appeared for the new COM
pany. He secuted Mr.. Eliotts claim that
the asphalt they used was the only kind
that could really be called asphalt. That
story, he said, was a chestnut and had
''whiskers on it," He said that the public
was getting sick of this. perpetual cry
when there was chance for competition
He declared that it lay with the board and
city. engineer to determine whether the as
phalt the new company proposes to use
was as good as the other
Mr.. Elliott said that the law required all
such repairs to be made by resolution of
the Council This course was not followed
He declared that in all justice the board
ought to readyertise for bids. He said the
old companies never dreamed that the
board would consider anything else than
Trinidad or Bernudez asphalt He would
guarantee that lower bids would be SUBJ
mitted if the board readvertised. The
Western Paving and Supply Company
would give bond TO make lower bid.
Mr. Taylor procured from the engineer
q copy of the printed specifications for as
phalt work adopted last March. He pro-
duced it and showed that the mixture the
Germo- Kentucky Company proposes to use
was mentioned specifically as being lc-
the controversy and proved conclusively
that the board had not violated its specifi-
cations.
President Downing announced that the
board would take the petition for a read
vertisement under Amusement, and would
be guided by the opinion of the city attor-
ney as to whether the contract could be
legally made under the specifications He
said that there was no question as to the
quality of the asphalt adopted so far as
the board was concerned.
There is some likelihood of new suit
no matter what the decision of the attor-
ney may be- If he decides the contract
may be perfected with the new company
the old company will apply for an inJunc-
ton to prevent the work, and vice versa
the same course will be pursued by the
rev company
V. M. Backus, representing the new COM
pany, claims that the old companies have
monopoly on Trinidad and Bermudez as
phalt, and are therefore anxious that no
other kind shall be used on the streets of
