Earn poned to establish a naval station on the island of Guam. Bids recently invited from ontractors in New York and elsewhere are several times graster than the cost of similar work in the United States. The lowest bid for the construction of a pier and ecol sheds is three times higher than the ordinary cost of complating such a project anywhere in this country, and the department will ask for new bida for that work. The lowest bida for each class of work in the plans for the establishment of the station amount to about $900,000, or three times estimates bused on the cost of work and material in Enited States.

The high rates asked by the bidders arise from the fact that material and workmen must be sent from this country to Guam One of the house for officers would coat about $1500 in the United States. The lowest bidder wants 815,000 for erecting it.
