ONE OF THE EIGHT AUTHORIZED
Craft to be Constructed Here Will be
Of the Same General Design as the
Simon Lake Turned Out About Two
Years Ago For the Inventor-Two
at Government Yard, Probably Nor
folk.

Tn" Newport News ShilbuiidinG
AID Dry Dock Company will build d
submarine torpedo boat of the LAX"
cruiser type, to cost sll0000. the con-
tract for which has been awarded to
the Lake Torpedo Boat Company b.
the navy department. This beat will
be one of eight submarines authoriz-
ed at the last session CT Congress.
The new submarine Will be- he
largest Lake boat ever cons .ruvtej in
this country. and will be of the same
general design as tn" Simon Lake,
the first of the cruiser type, when
was built at the local yard about TWO
years ago During the Russo-Japan-
csc war the local yard built five sub
marines of the Simon Lake X type for
the Lake company. and all Of these
were sent TO Russia. Since that time
the Lake company has established I
plant at Libau. where a number OF
beats have been turned out for the
Russian government.
1t is probable that 1t will require
something over year to complete
the new boat for the United States
navy.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington last night said:
Two at Government Yards.
Two OF the submarine boats auth
cried at the last session of Congress
are to be cons ructed at one Of the
government navy yards. if satisfac-
tory arrangements as to shop-rights
for constructing with one or more Of
the submarine boat companies can
be made.
This is a new departure in naval
construction.
The remaining six authorized BY
Congress will be built by private
firms.
Successful Bidders.
The successful bidders for the six
boats were: The Electric Boat Com
pany. two vessels under their 20A biz
at $45O.45O each and two vessels under
their 20-B bid at sl3S.S00 each. all
four vessels to be delivered en- the

 Say, Jedge. hain't that purity steep?"
 No" was the reply. You knew you were an important witness In this case, and ought to have been here. will suspend payment. however, and hold it over you to see that there is no like trouble in the future"
 Later Judge Wright was spending a few weeks at Menio, popular summer resort in Chattooga county. several miles from the railroad. He had a package to come out from Summerville and the big mountaineer happened to deliver 1t.
 Well, what do I owe your" asked the judge, genially, reaching for his change pocket.
 Well. Jedge, reckon about $15 would square us." was the calm reply.
 "What?" yelled Judge Wright stag gering back.
 ''Mebbe you won't be so dern keerless next time bout leavin' yo' packages" was the imperturbable answer.
 Look here" whispered the perturbed jurist. "I'll just remit that S16 fine put on you down in Summerville.'

VIII Build Row of Flats.

The contract to build a row of flats on the corner of Avenue F and Twenty first street has been let by Messrs. Ramsay and Mccormack. They will be two-stories and built on the latest and most modern design. Every conven- fence in the way of lights, heat and other modern equipments has been provided for. The necessity for build ings of this character has been evil dent for some time as there are many people who come to Ensley who de-
 sire to look around before they mako this their permanent home, and Just such building has long been needed. In this connection it might be stated that bachelors apartment house is also a much needed institution and would be much appreciated by the host of young men who are employed at the various plants in this vicinity.
