jumbling Of figures In cablesrarn out
lining the bid OF the Lord Young En-
gin,ering Company OF Honolulu, for
constructing a general administration
building and storehouse at Pearl Har-
lbor, caused the Bureau OF Yards and
Docks to defer final action In the mat
ter. The bids indicated on some Of the
items are not understood by the ON
Gals The total clearly seems to show
that the aggregate sum is considerably
in excess of the appropriations.
In fact, all the bids exceed the sums
allowed by Congress for the work. The
department has not determined what
course should be pursued It may be
necessary to readvertise. and seek 10
hold the construction within the APP
preparations. For that reason II was
considered advisable to walt until all
the bids filed in Honolulu should reach
the Bureau Of Yards and Docks by mail.
Specifications issued September
called for a general administration
building to cost not exceeding $4,000
and storehouse limited in cost TO-
100000.
| According to Information received
here. the Lord-Young Engineering
Company was the only bidder on the
storehouse. but the exact character Of
Isl viii not be known until the report
comes In detail.
| The w. N. COncannon Company Of
San Francisco made lump proposition
to build the administration building and
storehouse for u total Of $4,000. pro-
lvided they were permitted to use rein :,
forced columns in lieu OF structural col
umns in storehouse." This suggestion
has not been seriously regarded by the
department authorities. because the
plans and specifications call for struc-
tural columns.
TO be one Of waiting patiently until all
the bids filed In Honolulu reach them.

offered at the Bureau OF Yards and
