SUPERVISORS
BITTER NOW
OVER PAVING

"Ohia wood blocks are as much q
monopoly in this territory as Is the
patent paving material handled BY
Joseph Gilman. declared Temporary
Chairman Eben Low, 1efore q full
membership of the city and county
board of supervisors who gathered al
noon today and participated in red
hot session, in which much rhetorical
pyrotechnics were fired at random
THE Rapid Transit Company in
sist on the ohia wood blocks when we
all know that the material is the sole
product of corporation in which the
heaviest shareholders in the Rapid
Transit are also identified" continued
Low.
"The bitulithic pavement can be
laid on the right of way occupied by
the street railway company for $3.50
a square yard. We know that tire
lava blocks as proposed by Manager
Ballentyne will cost the public ser
vice corporation much more.
"This board has gone on record as
fair in the matter of dealing with the
street railway company. 1t has met
the company more than half way in
the matter. The statement from the
management that they do not wish to
to be held to use a patent pavement
of monopoly does not ring sound or
true.
We Are Not Grafters.
"The street railway company has
all along been trying to force the city
and county to use the wood blocks as
turned out by the company on Hawaii,
in which shareholders in the Transit
Company are also interested.
Low took occasion to denounce the
reflections appearing in the editorial
columns of a morning paper which
hinted at graft in the paving question.
I'VE are not grafters," declared the
now irate Supervisor from the chair,
"and ] challenge any newspaper to
prove it.

Believing that Francisco AntOen

Despite the efforts OF skipper, on

Senator Dixon, Rooseyelt's campaign

local members of the Roosevelt move

has no right to shut this Territory
out of the convention.

Dissolution of California Rein.
ing Company Has No
Significance

Instead of being significant the an
nouncement, cabled to the Star-Bulle-
tin yesterday, of the dissolution of the
California Sugar Refining Company is
exceedingly unimportant. As the ca
blegram said, the petition for dissolu-
ton has no known connection with
the federal suit to dissolve the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company" or, as
commonly called, the sugar trust.
1t can also be, said that the dissolu-
tion of the California makes no change
whatever in the status of the sugar
refining business on the Pacific coast.
