LOCAL FIRMS UNABLE TO
BID ON CANAL SUPPLIES
Lack of Facilities to Deliver Merchan=
disc to Panama Prevents Los
Angeles Concerns from Sc
curing Contracts

Capt. Amos A. Fries of the govern
ment corps of engineers has made
numerous efforts to obtain bids from
Los Angeles jobbers and manufacturers
on supplies for the Panama canal
forces, but they are prevented from
capturing this business because of lack
of facilities for delivering to the canal
zone Capt. Fries frequently receives
requests for bids on large quantities
of supplies which he says Los Angeles
firms are prepared to furnish.
The only contract secured so far at
Los Angeles is that obtained by the
Union Oil company, which has it's own
steamers. This condition is regarded
by Los Angeles business men as an
other argument in support of the gov
eminent steamship line between the
canal and Pacific coast ports.
