RECOMM MENDS CHANGE.
Increase Cost of Battleships anu De-
crease That OF Cruisers.
nv Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l6.-Secretary
Long has written a letter to the chairman
of the Congressional Committee OH Naval
Affairs advocating a change in the limit
of cost vor the two battleships and two
ar,nored cruisers. He urges that the
limit of cost be increased $500 in each
case, and that decrease of S2aoOoe be
made in the init of cost Of each arlnored
cruiser.
He explains that this recommendation
is based on experience gained in the re-
cent competition among ship-buiders for
the construction of several naval vessels
of the classes in question The bids re-
ceived for each class of ships showed
that the limit OF cost was too low in the
case Of battleships and too high in the
case Of armored cruisers. The change
recommended would make the limit in the
case of battleships S3,S50,GO0 and in the
case of armored cruisers si.0O0.000. b1-t
as the Secretary explains in his letter to
the committee, would not increase or de-
crease the total appropriation necessary
