firm BIDS Low
ON HARB0R JOB

One big surprise was sprung at IL
o'clock this morning in the office OF
the United States engineer, when Maj
r. R. Raymond, major of engineers, In
charge of the local office, opened bids
for dredging that portion of the har-
Dor around and near the quarantine
wharf. LIZ
The Standard American Dredging
Company, with headquarters in San
Francisco, was the lowest bidder, at
23.9 cents per cubic yard. This COM
pany's bid was nearly 80 cents yard
less than that of the Hawaiian
Dredging Company, which bid SO cents
cubic yard, while the Lord Young
Engineering Company turned in a bid
of SO cents, almost 40 cents yard
more than the San Francisco firm.
THE Standard is a reliable firm"
said Maj Raymond in commenting CT
the astonishingly low bid it made,
'and has done a great deal of work

work at Los Angeles had charge of.

There is an appropriation of $S0,00t

The contract is in three subdivi-

MEETING
ON new CHARTER
Will Be HELD

Why the board of supervisors has
Deen requested to take part in the cun-
ferences between the public utilities
commission and the Honolulu Rapid
Transit and Land Company regarding
the proposed new charter for the COM
pany, was the question raised today
by Supervisor Ben Hollinger.
Il am not going to. favor this new
charter If the rights of the supervisors
as regards the. control of road and
street work are to be transferred to
the public utilities commission" Mr.
Hollinger said.
Charles r. Forbes, superintendent
of public works and chairman of the
commission, pointed out that when
any pavement laid down by the city
and county is disturbed by the Rapid
Transit in carrying out its proposed
extensions, it will be required that the
railway. make repairs with a similar
type of pavement.
Although nothing definite could be
learned today, a meeting of the utili-
ties commission and the committee
appointed by the Rapid Transit may
be held tomorrow afternoon to further
consider the proposed new charter.
Work on tentative draft of the
new charter now is being carried out
by the law firm of Castle C Withing-
ton, attorneys tor the Rapid Transit,
and James L. Coke, attorney for the
commission. It is believed that the
preliminary draft will be completed
this week and turned over to the pub
lie utilities commission for its con-
sideration.
A public meeting to discuss the
charter probably will be held before
the commission finally passes on the
bill.
