IN REGARD to the bids OF the Harlan
& Holltngsworth Company for the
building Of the three cruisers ordered
by the Government, 1t Is to be regretted
shat that firm was not successful In
getting one or more OF the contracts.
We have no doubt that the Govern
ment would save money and have bet
ter boats had it even given the con-
tracts to the II. n Fl. Company at their
bids, but this the Government could
not do. 1t is complimentary to our
shipbuilding firms that they have no
lack Of contracts from private COM
panies who care more for having q first
class well built boat than they do for
few extra thousand dollars. As our
WILMINGTON shipbuilders failed to get
either OF the contracts, IL Is . measure
OF qualification to know that the most
OF the boats are to be built upon the
Delaware, though at Philadelphia,
which will be no triflng advantage to
the ship mechanics OF Whining gton.
1T Is A QUESTION whether IL would
not be better for the morals OF the com
munity II there would be no more
