BANGS AND OLIVER
BID IS LOWEST
Offer to Construct Panama
Canal for 6.75 Per Cent
of the Estimated Cost
DEEMED REASONABLE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Proposals
opened by the Canal Commission today
for the entire construction of the
Panama canal were as low as had been
expected by experts on construction
work. For some time II had been
known that several members of the
commission believed per cent on the
be a fair remuneration for con-
tractor under the form prepared by
the commission. The lowest proposal.
that OF William j. Oliver OF Knox
Vile, Tenn. and Anson NJ. Bangs of
New York City. who offered to do the
work at 6.75 per cent on the estimated
cost, Is lower than had been expected.
Granting that the estimate Of $140.-
100000 for the construction of the
canal, which has been frequently
spoken OF in Congress, is accurate, the
remuneration of the oliver Bangs com
binatfon would be $9.450,0oO in case it
were awarded the contract.
Much discussion has been caused by
the great difference in the four bids
received, as they ranged from 6.75
to 2S per cent.
OllsC1 anu AhSOh WI.
Bangs have been in the contracting
business for many years, and the state
ments they furnished with their pro-
posal show that they have done much
important work. Oliver says that he
has completed s1S,100.o00 worth of
work in ten years and has $SL500. 900
worth of work in progress. He gives
his assets at s3,00O,000. Bangs gives
his assets at 81, 600 900 and says that
he the 70 "a

water and Buffalo breakwater, the con-
tract price for each of these having
been s2,500,000. He Is president of the
Federal Construction Company of New
York
The successful bidder is required un-
der the call to give bonds in the sum
ment from any loss. The Government
expressly reserves itself the control of
sanitation and of engineering, and in
the matter of quarters and the sub
sistence department, for they are d.
rectly connected with the health and
well-being OF canal employees, the right
of rigid supervision is retained.
In no event" says Chairman Shonts,
can the contractor be allowed to make
these departments an independent
source of profit"
department of materials and supplies,
and so far as the Panama Railroad is
concerned it was expressly declared in
the letter OF invitation for bids that it
could not wisely be turned over to the
contractor. The work to be done by
the contractor, therefore, has been con-
fined to the actual construction.
1t is believed by the commission that
the estimated cost of completing the
canal will be materially reduced by the
application of new principles of con-
struction which will be discovered as
the work progresses.
The proposals provide a system of
rewards for the completion OF the
work in shorter time than the con-
tract calls for, and this. it is con-
tended. Will effect saving sufficient
to onset the entire percentage required
to be paid the contractor on the esti-
mated cost of the work.

ALL WILL Be PAID
SAYS SULLIVAN

GOLDFIELD. New. Jan. FL. NJ
Sullivan, president of the Sullivan
Trust Company, gave out his first
statement today regarding the com
pany's financial embarrassment. He
wished it understood, he said, that all
miners and employees OF the company
have been paid in full. This involved
the expenditure of $4,000 since the
failure was announced. The total in
debtedness, as far as can be ascer-
tained, is $500. 600. about 95 per cent OF
which is due to San Francisco and
other brokers.
Part of the liabilities will be re-
duced. II is expected, by future receipts
OF stocks. The company is making ar
rangements to take up the Indebted
ness without, If possible, taking ad-
vantage OF the thirty. sixty and ninety
days of time granted by the creditors.
Had the company had but twenty-four
hours In which to prepare for the trou-
Bile 1t would have been averted, de-
clares President Sullivan.
The failure. he explains. was partly
caused by delay in the mails and a
hnal rush of three days mail in one.
Drafts to the amount of $4,000 were
coming in daily and being honored in
regular order. But when the drafts of
four days had accumulated making
total OF $4,000 TO be met at one
time, they were returned unhonored.
When the news leaked out there fol-
lowed slump in the company's Sc
curities. which made 1t difficult to real
ize ready money to tide over the sit
ua3on.
~ reorganization OF the company is
taking place and as soon as represen-
tatives from the San Francisco credi-
tors arrive there will be an election
OF a new board of directors. Whether
or not L. NJ. Sullivan viii retain the
presidency has not been decided on.
In order to avoid further conflict and
Misunderstanding 1t is given out one
or more OF the officers will resign.
The assets as figured out by Presi-
dent Sullivan were on January s30S, 900.
The sale OF control of the properties

REARING FRUIT

The republican party Of Idaho has
placed at least one law upon the stat
ute books Of the state that is bearing
splendid fruit. Governor Gooding adj
vocated a law enabling the state to
loan its surplus funds and that
measure was passed by a republican
legislature. Now we have the fruits Of
this measure. A report from the
office OF State Treasurer Hastings says
that for the six months ending June 80,
'07, the interests on the state funds
amounted to $7708.04. These funds
are deposited in seventy banks through
out the state. The people, regardless
OF their political affiliations, will read
this information with feeling that this
is one of the wisest measures ever en-
acted into law in our state, and will
willingly give due credit to its authors.
