Automobile Matters.

Supervisor Low is busy just now in

fcations of the several tenders made
TO furnish automobile chemical engines
and hose carts to the city, bids for
which were opened at Thursdays meet.
ing of the board. There is considerable
difference in the price of the different
machines offered, some giving their
prices at the factory and others laid
down in Honolulu.
Low is busy in figuring ont these
differences in cost with the machines
laid down in this city, and the commit
tee is expected to come to its decision
in day or two and order the ma
chine or machines for the fire depart
ment.
There was one irregularity in the
bids submitted and that was that bat
one firm, Honolulu Iron Works, enclosed
certified check to show its good faith
in making the tender for the machines.
However, as by a clerical error no
mention was made in the advertisement
for the bids that such check would
be required the bids have all been con-
sidered in proper shape There was a
report on the street yesterday that all
the bids submitted would be thrown
out and new ones asked for, but this
could not be confirmed.
On the other hand, when Low was
asked if this was SO he said there was
nothing to it, that the tenders received
were all in proper shape and that the
contract would be made to one of the
bidders whose tender had been received.

cop.a,n Curtis Opposes.

I'm response to your letter OF Au-
gust s, 1911, with Enclosure, beg
leave to reply as follows: II elected

vote for the so-called jug Dill un-
less the Congress of the United States
enact law which will give dry States
the right to prohibit the importation
Of liquor from wet States.
ITO forbid the dealers OF Richmond.
for instance. to ship liquor into dry
territory in this State, would simply
mean that the shipping business would
be moved from Richmond to Balu-
more or Washington. The cause OF
temperance would not benefit and the
State would lose a large revenue.
IT am not in favor of a bill refer
ring the question OF Statewide prohi-
bition to the voters, because l am
believer in local option-that is TO say,
I believe that the question of whether
the sale OF liquor is licensed or not Is
a local question to be decided by the
local voters. and is not question
which should be decided for Rich
mond by the counties and cities OF
the State which know nothing about
the local conditions of Richmond and
have no especial interest in the same.

In answer to your first question,

Ing this. I would still have the right
TO order 1t from another State and
the shipment could not be interfered

Such a law. u passed. would take a
large amount OF money from the
State and we would still have whis-

would result in the whole State go

would. therefore. vote against such
a measure.
In answer to your second question.
believe in the democratic principle
OF local option-that each community
should decide for itself. The State OF
Virginia is not a community. and IN
a State wide election, It would be pos
sible for few voters in some small
mountain county to hold the balance
of power and decide the question for

interest This would be very unfair
to the cities.
