RAPID TRANSIT
WINS THE TRICK
PLAN To MAKE OWN CRUSHED
ROCK FOR ROADS BRINGS
OUT LOWER BIDS.

The board of directors of the Rapid
Transit and Land Company recently APP
proved a plan to manufacture crushed
rock and all other materials to be used
in their roadways, in order to offset
the high prices submitted 60 Tho COM
pany by local manufacturers of road
material. Hardly had the ink been dry
upon the minutes of the company's
records, which included motion to
purchase the necessary machinery, than
the local makers of road materials re-
quested n conference with the transit
people, and asked permission TO submit
new figures. The new figures, which
were very much lower than those first
presented, were satisfactory to the COM
pany, and the plan TO establish rock
crushing plant was abandoned.
This was one of the "burdensomeD
things of which President l.. Tenney
Peck of the rapid transit complained
in commenting upon the decision of the
supreme court in regard to the paving
squabble between the rapid transit COM
pany and the city authorities.
"I have read the findings" said
Mr.. Peck yesterday, "and to lay
man Is mind it does seem burdensome,
when Section SAT of the laws of the
Territory gives us the right at all times
to do all of our own manufacturing,
construction and repairing of every
kind of appurtenance or appliance re-
quired in maintaing the tracks and
roadway of the railway, that we should
nevertheless be compelled to adopt any
paving appliance that n supervisor or
patent right promoter or monopoly
could induce the authorities to compel
us to use.
Not long since the price of crushed
rock went up. This was brought be-
fore our board of directors. We knew
what it would cost us to make the
crushed rock and we decided to manu-
facture the necessary material for
maintaining the roadway. just as soon
as the different manufacturers heard of
our decision they asked to submit new
prices. They were satisfactory and we
will not now manufacture the materials
we need.
s'In the ease of this bitulithic, it is
monopoly. If it is used and it has
to be repaired we can not make re-
pairs because we are not allowed to,
as the material is patented. We have
to buy it of the patentee or its agents.

PATRONEE HOME
PRODUCTS, DECLARE
LOCAL BUSINESSMEN

"Patronize home industry" is the
tenor of letter from the merchants
association which will reach the board
of supervisors this week, the special
feature beng the recent call for ten
ders for supplying the Hawaiian band
with new instruments. The bids were
opened at the last meeting and all were
rejected largely because the call was
so loosely drawn that the bids were put
in like mess of cells in a basket.
Among the bids were thirteen from
mainland makers of instruments.
The merchants association found
that the local music dealers bid on in.
struments for which they are agents,
and yet at the same time bids were
received from the makers themselves,
this having been done because one of
the supervisors insisted upon having
the advertisements sent to them. One
bid was received from London.
The local music dealers say that they
should be given the chance to get the
contract, just as much as local auto
dealers are given the chance to sup
ply makes of autos to the fire depart
ment or to the police department, or as
local dealers only are given contracts
TO supply various materials to the diff
ferent branches of the government.
The merchants claim that they pay
heavy taxes, licenses and dozen and
one fees to the government for carrying
on business and they believe in such
a call for tenders that local bidders
should be given the preference.

The Value of Culture.

~ came here to teach Hawaiian
music. The merchants here furnished
the funds, and the musical education
that has followed is part of the
culture of the community. These are
days of commerce, but you must give
a moment for culture. Looking back
into history, we see that the culture is
all that is left in the memory of the
human race of the great nations of the
past. The commerce of the Phoenicians,
Romans and Grecians is forgotten
their culture lives.

be poetry, or other literature, or music.
