WATER CONTRACT
ISNOT LEGAL,
SAYS WV. THAYER
Caldwell, Not Empowered to
Enter Agreement for Harbor
. Board, Ayers Opinion

That the superintendent of public
works has no power to bind the city
and county of Honolulu by making a
contract between the water works de-
partment and the Board of Harbor
Commissioners for an independent
water supply for shipping, is the
status of an opinion handed down by
Attorney-general Wade Warren Thay-
er to the harbor board and presented
at the meeting of the members Of
that body this morning. The opinion
was offered by the encouragement
in reply to a letter from the special
committee of the board on an inde-
pendent water supply, consisting of F.
B. McStocker, chairman; James Wake
ield and ]. w. Caldwell, asking the
opinion of the department regarding
the legality of the methods advocated
in the committees report to the
board.
THE committees receipt of the at
torney-generaIs opinion does not mean
that it will cease in it's efforts to Sc.
cure this independent water supply"
said Committeeman F. B. McStocker
this morning The committee will
take the matter up with the Board Of
Supervisors during the period when
that body is considering the water
rates. The supervisors have appointed
a committee to investigate the matter,
and the harbor board also will appoint
committee sometime prior to the
meeting"
The opinion Of the attorney-general
calls the attention of the board to an
error on the latter's part in the as.
sumption that the title to the wharves
is vested in the board. The opinion
says that the title of the wharves is
vested in the United States govern.

subjects, not the least, of which. was
what he considers an undue margin
of profit charged by some local bust
nesses. p.
Mentioning no names, yet with a
reference or two that most of the Ho-
DoIulans understood, the admiral, in a
brief Introduction to his prepared ad-
dress, said that Honolulu should see
TO- it that the government trade, spe-
cifying the army and navy, purchases,
should not be forced to seek San
Francisco but should be able to do
business here. - - ...-

buy at home whenever possible and l
believe the government should buy
here when it can secure reasonable
prices" he said, 'but you can't expect
a man to buy at home IL he has to pay
25 or 80 per cent profit on 2-cent
freight rate from San Francisco He
said that on account Of meeting Ger
tain conditions here which seemed to
mean more than a reasonable profit
to the local firms, he has been order
ed to get San Francisco prices before
closing with local sellers for supplies
within his jurisdiction. ,Es III FEB Il.
This matter of prices was only one
of the several important features
touched upon by the admiral In speak

the territory He urged more enter
tainment for tourists, the opening of
one hotel, which he said, " though the
most beautiful you have has been turn
ed into a rooming- house" a .s
You should so treat the tourist that
when he goes away he will send an
other tourist here" was one of his
comments. 4 -

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: ut
Is the belief of many wheat traders
that there is to be little change in prices
from this level for the present, unless
a large export demand develops or
something drastic comes to the front to
create better buying. There is dis
position to buy on all breaks for
turn.
Corn traders who are bullish say
that the Government report on hogs is
a bull factor on corn, as there are more
hogs and cattle than private reports
have shown. This, they construe, will
mean a larger number to feed and lead
to an increased consumption"
Bartlett. Frazier g. Co. say:
"Wheat-Look for a steady market to-
day without any particular change In
values.
"Corn-The market shows a steady
tone, and we would not be surprised to
see prices work a little higher.
"Oats-Prices will be governed large
ly by the action OF other grains.

prices may ease some further"

ion is that there are not over $1,000 600

Regardless of whether the creosote
is poisonous, it is said that, floating
