COST OF ARMOUR MAKING.
A voluminous Report From the Naval
Board.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-The
Naval Board, appointed by authority
Of Congress to ascertain the cost of au
armor plant, made its report through
Commodore Howell to Secretary Long
to-day. The report makes volumin-
Gus document treating every detail or
the process of armor making essential
to correct apprehension of the cost
of the plant and of the product. 1t IS
also accompanied by elaborate plans
for the plant, which have been verified
by expert Fritz. The cost Of plant
suitable for the making of naval armor
at the rate of about 5000 tons per
annum, which is fully equal to the
capacity of both of the existing private
plants is set down as about three and
three quarter million dollars. No recon-
mendation is made as to the location
of the plant, but the board has acccu-
mulated much informa tion as to the
merits of various eligible locations
which may be had by Congress if called
for by it. Secretary Long will now pro-
