Victor Hoffman, of San Francisco,
who received the contract for putting
up the Beretania street school house
has asked to be relieved from the con-
tract. He writes that owing to re
advance in the price of lumber he will

the figure specified. His bid was ST.

The matter was thoroughly discussed
in the Cabinet yesterday morning. The
decision was finally reached that If Mr..
Hoffman persisted in Withdrawing the
Government will declare forfeited his
bond of $1,000. Although there are
three other San Francisco bids lower
than the local bids it is believed that
the contract will now go to the lowest
of the Honolulu bidders-Mr. Ouder-

Still another San Francisco man
wishes to be released from his con-

that he will not be able to take the
