WHY LOCAL SHIPBUILDERS DIDN'T BID.

ton.
Il noticed in a Sunday papsr a com
msnt on the failure of our ship builders
to bid on the three gun b1Rts two OF
which we're launched Saturday, and one
OF which was named after our city,
said a ship builder TO an EVENING JOUR
NAL reporter, "and the reason for that
failure is stated to be mystery. Now
there isn't any mystery about It at all.
The local builders haven't hankered
particularly after the work Their ex
perience has been In tue past that the
contracts have been hedgsd about by 50
much red tape and there have been so
many petty annoyances attending the
work that there has bsen neither
money nor pleasure Ia building the
craft. The inspectors have absolutely
no jurisdiction In the construction Of the
specifications to the letter, no matter
whether any Improvement could be
made or not

construct It 80 was merely to compel
its removal and building In another
place, but the plans said put it there and
20 there It went Well, 1t had to be
changed. and the additional expense
was somewhere in the neighborhood Of

speetor is given some discretion In the
matter, and II that is the case, l do not
doubt but that some Of our firms will
be the bidders. Walt till the line Of

we may build her; and let me add. she
may be built in 4 shipysrd on the Della
