Two hundred thousand dollars will be
the cost OF the recOnversion of the ST.

This is the estimate made by depart
ment officials who have had occasion to
pass upon the reports of the board of
survey which has carefully inspected
these ships. Under the terms of the
contract with the American Line the
Government Is required to put the ships
in exactly the same condition they were
when impressed into the Government
service. Since these vessels have been
performing naval work they have had
a great deal OF wear and tear, especially
upon their machinery, which is in need
Of considerable repairs. 1t is stated that
considerable damage had been done by
the soldiers who had been transported
upon the two vessels.
The Harvard and the Yale are also in
need of extensive alterations, and there
an arrangement with the American Line
whereby the latter will waive the terms
of the contract for a satisfactory sum
of money which will cover the cost of re-
converting the ships.
