WH|TEHOUSE THE
LOWEST BIDDER

While nothing authoritative has been
given out by the Department of Pub
lie Works respecting the successful
bidder on the contract for completing
the Nuuanu dam, the bids for which
be taken for granted that L. NJ. White
house is the man. His bid for the
work was over six thousand dollars
below that of the next lowest of the
four contractors and nineteen thousand
below that of the highest. The figures
submitted by the bidders were:
L. NJ Whitehouse, s123,445; W. H.
Hogs & Co., s129.475; Wilson & Cha
pin, S134,560, and C. S. Holloway, s142,-
900.
Two of these figures are within the
estimate of $4,000 voted by the last
Legislature for the completion of the
work, but as a matter of fact the bid
of Whitehouse is the only one that
comes within the amount actually
available for construction work. Out
! of the amount voted, $4,000 has already
! been spent by the department on the
work on the preparations for the new
| contract, while of the 100000 balance
at least $4,000 will be required for gov
eminent inspection and Office work
chargeable against the dam.
Superintendent of Public Works
Campbell and his assistant, c. H.
Kluegel, worked over the figures sub
mitted all yesterday afternoon. for the
bids were accompanied by the detail
ed estimates on the various portions
of the work, put in as basis for de-
auctions and extras. These figures did
not work out to the same totals as the |
bids in all cases, showing that the
contractors had other ideas of the
amounts of the various kinds of work |
than the department.
The Attorney General put in large !
part of his time yesterday afternoon
also scanning the bids and seeing that
they were in order. In each instance
he found that all thesrequirements had
been lived UP to.
The detailed figures of the estimates
of the contractors are:
