Iron Works just above, all within the
limit of cost fixed by the act OF con-
gress. 1t was the original plan to
award the contracts in that order. But
upon examination of the plans sub
mitted by the bidders il was found that
the only thoroughly satisfactory one
was that submitted by Cramps, who
had simply taken the alternate plan
suggested by the navy department..
which amounted to lengthening the hull
OF the ships Is to 20 feet in order to
gain room for the more powerful en-
gines required to drive the ship at a
speed of 1SA knots instead of 16 knots.
as first proposed. After considering the
subject in all its aspects, the board of
naval bureau chiefs has hit upon a solu-
ton OF the question. They have invited
the Newport News company and the
Union Iron Works to amend their plans
so as to make their ships identical to
those proposed by Cramp.
Mr.. Scott Of the California company
mas agreed 20 do this already. and the
representatives of the Newport News
company has verbally agreed to do the
same, as 1t is the understanding that
each of the companies will be given a
contract for one ship.
