The bill introduced some weeks age by
Representative Gardner relating to sub
marine boats is considered one of the
most interesting documents presented to
Congress in years. 1t proposes that the
government shall try the Lake submarine
boatt before buying it, and if the boa
PONIES up to the required test it shah be
bought and several more boats of the
same type. John P. Holland, of New
ark, the submarine builder, who has been
sn this city recently, is not pleased with
the idea embodied in the bill, because
there is no provision made fer any COM
petition in the submarine boat matter,
The bill Of Mr.. Gardner recites all Of
the facts about submarine boat building
abroad, and telie why the fureign gov
ernments adopted the type Of beat, such
as the Lake company builds. The pro-
pcsal seems fair enough. and if the bill
becomes law no bsubt tho company can
build boat thar will comeup to all the
specifications.
