EXPLAIN WHY! * BIDS WERE NOT MADE LOCAL MSROHA.VT^DlHCU88Ef | DIFFICULTIES IX THIS "PAMLICO- CASK. UNEQUAL BASIS New Bern Business Men Have Ad-1 vuU|e of Nq| ibrlo? Co Pay Freight, tofonuatlou Vague mm to Articles. That Washington merchant? were unable to bid on the supplies for the coast guard cutter, "Pamlico,'' ow ing to the fact that details a? to the mature of the goods wanted wtre not stated and on account of being on an unequal footing with the mer chants of New Bern, was the state nent made by one of the local bus .nesa men this morning. "It has been my experience to bid 3n several government propositions of this kind,'' said the merchant, j "and it le only the fellow who Is j on the inside' that can successfully '' hope to contend with those parties ! who have been filling contract? in j the past. The details, a? to the j grade and price of articles desired, |> are very vague and there is really but very little definite information given on. which the prospective bid der can figure his price?. "In the 'Pamlloo' case, this; cr I ter is stationed at New Bern and ?lie government, in securing bids' provisions and supplies, requires the | ??rices to include the chsrgeB of placing tho articles on the deck of ?he cutler. Of course It can readily lje seen that the merchant who is closest to the vessel and who does not have to pay freight charges, has a big advantage over the business j men of other citlce. I am sure that i 't would have been useless? for any merchant In Washington to have ?submitted bids on furnishing sup dios for the cutter under these con-. Iltfcjns:' irtlte'' hotter had been sta-" ?loned-at Washington, It mixht have nut a different light on the propo sition, but even thni, It would have j been hard to secure accurate infor mation as to what was wanted. The men who supply the cutter at pre?- ? ?snt have been d-olng so for many J v*ars past and are acquainted with alt the details."
