Honolulu Jan. 10, 19O5-
George r. Carter, Governor Territory
of Hawaii.
Sir The American Hawaiian En-
gfneering 6. Construction Company,
Limited. has delayed making final
statement of it's position concerning
the Insane Asylum contract, until it
could receive the latest information
from it's manager, F. ]. Amweg, now
in san Francisco and obtain advice of
counsel. Such information and advice
being at hand, 1 now state to you the
conclusions which this company has
come TO. first summarizing the facts
necessary to an understanding OF the
conclusions reached.
- This company, in good faith, bid on
the contract TO build an Insane Asy-
lum, offering to erect a building OF
brick for s565I5. or of concrete blocks
for s49.391
Its bid for concrete construction was
accepted by the superintendent of
Public Works. upon condition that the
concrete blocks be made in Honolulu,
which condition the company accepted.
The only other bid flied was that of
the Concrete Construction Company to
build a concrete building for S62,525.
THE JOKER IN THE CONTRACT !
Mr.. Amweg was absent when the :
contract was awarded. Upon his re- /
turn. the fact that but one other con- /
tractor had filed a bid. and that it was /
more than $13. 900 higher than that of ,
this company excited his suspicious !
that there was a Joker" in the con- !
tract
Upon further study of the specif1ca-
tions and consultation with the Public
Works officers he for the first time be-
came aware that the government so con-
strued the contract that the contrac-
tor would be required to use hydraulic
pressure in constructing the concrete
blocks, as we'll as. and in addition to,
the usual hand tamping process.
This was an entire surprise 10 the
contractor. for the following reasons;
(a) Concrete is a standard building
and the method of construc-
tion is equally we'll known, viz; by
hand tamping in a mould.
(b) There are no pressure machines

PINKHAMs UNINVENTED Ma
CHINE

Notwithstanding this unexpected
development Mr. Amweg desiring to
carry out the contract, requested Mr..
Beardslee the government architect on
this job. to inform him where a ma
chine which would make the blocks
called for by the specifications could
be obtained. To his amazement Mr.
Beardslee replied that such machine
did not exist: but that Mr.. L. E Pink
ham. President of the Board of Health.
had invented one. which would do the
work. Asked further as to how. when
and on what terms the Pinkham ma
chine could be obtained. Mr.. Beardslee
further stated that it yet existed only
in Mr.. Pinkham's mind; but that he
could make it.
During the course of the converse
ton Mr.. Beardslee stated that the
Pinkham machine had been evolved
especially in connection with the con-
struction of the Insane Asylum: that
the machine was to have been con-
trolIed by the Concrete Construction
Company. of which Mr.. Pinkham was
formerly president: that the specifica-

building and shut out all concrete
blocks except those which could be /
made bv the Pinkham machine.

Railroads Obey When Prosperous.

Chicago, Ill.,. October IL Especially
Discussing the presidents views on
the rate question on a prominent rail
road man who is president Of one of
the great systems and dir ctor in
several other boards, said: ''It is easy
nowadays for the railroads TO obey
the law. because they are prosperous.
but it is difficult if any law could
make them refrain from doing so,
when it comes from survival Of the
fittest. Then the weakest begin to
break the law. and that leads all
others in the same direction. What
is needed, and what / hope will be
provided in the presidents message
is law that will enable the railroads
that wish to obey the law to compel
the others to do so or else go out Of
