against the ship.
The boat is TO cost more than $4,000.
The keel and one deck are partially built.
Walter Thompson, manager or the
Perth Amboy Dry Dock company, acting
as appraiser for the sheriff. placed the
present value OF the boat at $500, and of
the material on hand Tor its construction
at $4,000.

WILL NOT DISTURB WORK.
In an interview yesterday George II.
Eiswald OF this city, who is general man
ager of the Nautical Preparatory school
OF Rhode Island, said, while he had not
been notified of the actual levying of the
attachment, yet IL was no surprise. and
will I'm no way disturb either the work on
the vessel or the purpose for which IL
fs being built. He said IL had undoubt-
edly been placed on the boat by an en-
ploye who had recently been discharged.
This man. who was our naval archi-
tect. named William Il. Winant was
discharged" said Mr.. Eiswald. for rea-
sons that I consider good and sufficient,
reasons which constitute a breach on his
part OF the contract between us.
His contract called for the payment OF
$4,000, of which he had already been paid
$500 and short time ago received
letter from a New York firm OF attorneys
requesting that the balance of 1920 be
paid their client. offering the process OF
law In the event OF my refusing 10 pay.
II do not consider that We owe him
anything and accordingly took no notice
OF the communication. His course would
naturally be to levy on the ship and
probably he has done so. but IL amounts
to practically nothing, and our plans will
not be disturbed in the least"
Mr.. Eiswald spoke Of the progress that
Is being made on the boat and In regard
TO the plans which have been laid for
irst school year by sailing from this
city on Sept. 30 of this year Owing to la
bor troubles and one or two breakdowns
at the shpbullding plant. the work was
delayed, so that only by hurrying, work
ing day and night could II be finished
next fall, and then four or five weeks
late
I'VE could OF course. hold our pupils
OF that length OF time. but we desire

very best and. moreover. we wish an Al
Insurance rating. BY rushing the work
an opportunity would not be given for the
Insurance men to inspect the construc-
tion and material carefully. so that. all
things considered. we thought that IL
would be far more desirable TO postpone
for one year date OF starting. According
ly on June ls, we notified all OF those
from whom we had received applications.
asking them is they desired TO hold over
for a year
Every place. including $50 pupils, had
been engaged. and from these | have re-
ceived thus far 12s replies. Of which 124
have expressed n desire to enter next
year as they had planned TO do this year.
In the other four cases the parents stated
that by that time their boys would be
prepared for college.
