An Extension of Time

Consideration was given by the Navy
Department yesterday to the request of
torpedo-boat builders for an extension Of
time to complete their contracts, the
trouble being due to the increase in the
price of steel and the inability Of firms to
secure it for ship construction. No ex-
tention will be granted. however, but the
builders will be informed that after they
have delivered the boats the cause for
the delay will be considered and possibly
the time limit waived.
