H. B H. CO.
TO GET A BOAT
Government Will Contract
With the Local Com
pany to Build a
Torpedo Boat.

Washington, Sept 7-Contracts will be
awarded this week for the construction Of
torpedo boat destroyers and torpedo boats.
These vessels are to be of the highes, OBJ
tannble rate Of speed for their class and
displacement. The twelve destroyers
must develop on speed trials not less than
thirty knots an hour. The sixteen torpedo
boats must be able to make not less than
twenty-six knots an hour, All these YES
sells must be part Of the naval service in
less than eighteen months from the day
contracts are signed.
After several sessions for the considera.
tion Of the awards the board of bureau
this afternoon practically completed its
iabors. Firms that will certainly DO given
contracts for boats either of ono class or
the other, are The Bath Company of Bath,
Me. tho Harlan and Hollingsworth yard
of Wilmington, Del F.; Neavey & Lovy, of
Phisadelphia; he Fall River Company, OF
Fall River Mass. George Lawloy, the
Sparrows' Point Steel Works; of Balti-
moro; the Richmond Locomotive Works;
Lew Is Nixon, OF Elizabcthport N. j. and
the Union Iron Works of San francisco.
The remaining firm, willie not finally
disposed of. are believed to have but a
slight chance OF receiving awards.
In making awards tits contemplated to
give each firm only one class Of boat. SO
that yards building destroyers will not be
engaged also on the smaller and less speedy
type of vessel. With this programme
completed, the navy will hive available
for service within eighteen months fifty
destroye:s and torpedo boats, exclusive Of
additional boats that the next session of
Congress may authorize. Three years ngo
il had but two, tho Gushing and Ericsson.
