est attention to the cost and efficiency of
the two systems.
I'm my estimate for this work I have TAX
en- as a basis of calculation the cost per
LOCO square yards to do the work under our
present system which has been In opera
tion one month, and has proven to US that
the cost per 1000 square yards will not ex-
ceed 20 cents, including plant and wear and
the first item, we can clean 3,000,00 yards

working days in the year. To clean this
area by machine under contract at the
present rate, 25A cents per 1000 square
yards, would cost s2Os.575. or SAC, ,575 more
than it would cost without contract. To
clean the area by hand at the present con-
tract rate. 81 cents, would cost $259, 200, or
a difference of S97 200. In other words. to
whatever amount Congress would appropri-
ate for the work go per centum additional
would be required under the contract sys-
tenn beyond the amount required under the
system without contract.

Having received substantial encourage

session of Congress. we are hopeful that
the Commissioners will be given direct con-

BIG CONTRACTS AWARDED.
Orders Given for Manufacture of Dis

DAes-
appearing Gun Carriages.
WASHINGTON, March ga large con-
tract for disappearing gun carriages was
awarded to-day to the Walker Company, OF
Cleveland, O.. whose immense foundries
and machine shops have been placed at the
disposal of the government. The company
will run its plant night and day to rush the
work for rapid delivery. 1t is probable that
the first deliveries will be in about three
weeks. This is the first contract the Walk
er Company has taken direct from the gov
eminent. 1t has done such work for other
companies heretofore, but has decided now
to take contracts direct.
CLEVELAND, March 26.-Oficers of the
Walker Company state that they have re-
ceieved a telegram from General Flagler,
chief of the Ordnance Department stating
that their company had been awarded the
contract for one-third of the gun carriages
on which bids were invited some days ago.
This will necesstate the use of the largest
and heaviest machinery in the works and
the employment of an additional force OF
men. The magnitude of this work, SAID
one of the officials of the company, 'neceS-
states the employment of mammoth ma
chinery and the most extensive foundries
in the United States, and the Walker Com
pany, being equipped with special facilities
for handling and finishing these large cast
ings, the chief Of the Ordnance Department
intends taking advantage of the Walker
factories for similar future contracts. The
total amount involved will exceed half a
million dollars on the present contract. ="
The intention is to put every man possible
on the work day and night and expedite
the delivery as much as possible. 1t is
thought that part Of the order can be
completed in four months, and that the en-
tire contract can be fulfilled in eight
months.
BETHLEHEM, Pa, March 26-The Beth
lehem Iron Company this afternoon re-
ceived a big order for the United States
navy. 1t includes seven ten-inch and six
tweive-inch disappearing gun carriages, to
be finished as rapidly as possible and five
ten-inch guns, which makes fifteen ten-inch
guns to be delivered by July /. This COM
pany's works are running night and day on
armor, guns and carriages for the United
States navy.
