Award to MidvaIe Company for Seven
OF the Disappearing Type.

One Of the last official acts Of Brigadier
General Burlington, chief Of ordnance. who
was placed on the retired list yesterday,
was to close a contract with the Midvale
Steel Company for the construction Of seven
12-inch disappearing gun carriages. at a
cost of about $40 900 each, or $3.50 600 in all.
Bids for these carriages were opened scv-
eral days ago, and the bid of the Midvale
company was the lowest one received. II
is said that the action of General Buffing-
ton in this matter was purely formal, and
was not influenced by his own interest in
the disappearing gun carriage. which is
the joint invention of himself and General
Crozier his successor in office.
In April last the board Of ordnance and
fortification submitted a report to the Sec
retary of War in favor of the discontinu-
ance of gun carriages of the disappearing
type, and recommended that no more such
carriages be purchased for the army. The
Secretary OF War has not yet taken any
action on the report, and IT is said there
was no departmental objection to the action
of General Burlington in contracting for
seven more carriages.
