SHIP BUILDERS no POOL
Plan to Avoid Competition in Govern
ment Contracts

New York, April 24.-The Journal Of
Commerce says. Mr. Lewis Nixon was
questioned last night about a report that
many Of the big ship building concerns
were about to pool their interests with a
view to avoiding competition in govern
ment contracts. He said:
About a year ago many of the big
firms considered cooperative plan
which would work to their own interests
and that of their men The object in view
was not to avoid competition. by any
means The firms simply sought to dis
tribute the work so that a contract would
be placed with a firm best suited to per-
form it and to devise q plan by which the
overflow work from the big concerns
could be evenly distributed among the
smaller ones That plan is in about the
same condition as it was a year ago.

years interest upon said bonds, amount

This item of debt and accommodating
interest has been carried for nearly for
ty-two years. 1t appears to me that it
any sane creditor of the city is carry
ing this debt, he certainly would have
applied for interest, at least during these
years, If not for a renewal of his bond.
II would be loathe to advise a repu-
diation of any debt of the city, no mat
