Hawaii has scored in a national COM
mercial competition. ]. ]. Belser, Of
the local firm of Lord & Belser, con-
tractors, received a cablegram this
morning from w. H. Hoogs, also a
member of the firm, now in Manila
telling OF the success of the COM
pany in the bidding on a large contract
at Manila. The firm has secured what
is the largest contract in it's history
and the indications are that a very
rich plum will be carried away by the
firm.
Some months ago Lord, accompanied
by several engineers, went to Manila
for the purpose of bidding for his firm
for the work Of constructing the water
sy ystem and sewer system of Manila.
The water system was to cost about
81 100000 and the sewer system about
s., 500, 900. The bids for the water sys-
tenn were opened first on January 2.
The local firm was successful. The
bids were called for in sections, the
work being divided. The idea was that
the contract could be awarded in Sec
tlons or else as a whole to any firm
that made the lowest aggregate bid.
According TO the adYices received N-'

STAYTON
THE Man
ASSISTANT POSTMASTER TO BE
HAS REFUSED THE POSITION.

THE appointment of an assistant
postmaster will in all probability be
made by Postmaster Pratt this after
noon and sent on to Washington for
confirmation.
Chief Clerk Stayton will be the man.
The current story that Ed. Towse
had been offered the position is cor
rect, on the authority of the Postmas-
ter himself.
"The position was offered to Mr.
Towse but for business reasons he
could not accept it," said the Postmas-
ter today, but 1 am fortunate in hav-
ing John T. Stayton here to take the
place. He has been in a sense assist
ant cashier as well as occupying the
position of acting assistant postmaster
since Mr.. Kenake went away"
The position carries a salary of $1,000
a year, just half of that of the post
master.

Belser today, the local firm was sue
cessful in a number of the sectional
bids, and considerably below all other
competitors on the bid as a whole. The
aggregate amount of the bids for the
Various sections made by Lord g. Bel
ser was 81, ,040, 900. The dispatch did not
state how many sections on which the
firm had made the lowest bid, but stat
ed that the aggregate amount of the
sectional bids would reach $500
The result is that in case the Manila
government finds that it is cheaper to
make separate awards on each section,
the total amount OF the awards which
Lord g. Belser will receive will be
$464 900. If a total bid contract be
awarded the firms bid was $1,04O,0O
The next lowest total bid was $1,O66 900,
So Lord & Belser would in this event
get the entire contract.
The showing made by the local firm
has naturally caused much elation, for
competitors from various parts of the
United States were after the contracts.
Firms from New York, Chicago. st.

addition to Manila firms were compet-
