vessels have been launched since Jan. l..
1882, having an aggregate tonnage oi
q, ,638 tons. The total tonnage for the
year 1882 will he about 1900 tons.
Last year 36, 1884 tons were built at Bath
and in 1874, 81. 100. The largest tonnage
was built in 1S54-about $1,000 tons.
From that date until 1860 the building
fell off rapidly, being only 1S,400 tons
in 1860. Indeed. ali the statistics show
that wooden ship-building began to de-
cline five or six years prior to the war,
and seven or eight years prior to the
adoption of q protective tariff. Its
greatest decline in Bath was during the
free trade years just before the war OF
1861. The total tonnage built ut Bath
from 1860 to 1881. both inclusive. was
AGA, 217 tons. No labor is better paid
than that employed at Bath in ship
building. Every week this season $780,
600 has been paid as wages by the Bath
builders. A builder employing about
$50 men says that his weekly payments
were $500 for wages-an average OF
Sl6.66 per week to each man. The ship
