GOVERNMENT LOSING MONEY.
Rear Admiral Watt Claims Saving
Private Shipyards are Used.


Washington, Dec. 19.-The government
could save $l,500.000 if it could have the
battleship New York built in private
yard instead of at the New York navy
yard, according to the testimony today
of Chief Constructor Watt of the navy
department before the House committee
on naval affairs. He declared this mon
ey could be used to great advantage in
the navy and there would be q material
saving to the government if it could
build all the vessels by contract
He pointed out that this would be diff
fercnt if the navy knew exactly the rate
of wages paid in private yards and if it
We're not for holidays, as but for these
two factors the government could con-
pete with the private plants. The output
fully as great in n government yard as
in private yard.
II believe" said Rear Admiral watt,
that one navy yard on the Atlantic
coast and possibly one on the west coast
should be maintained in condition to
build government vessels, and if there, IS
the slightest evidence of any combina-
ton to control prices, that the govern
ment plant should then be used There
is no such evidence now.
II believe that building the Connncti-
cut in the New York navy yard has been
n very decided stimulus to the outside
shipbuilders and of material benefit to
the navy. We have secured all our ships
at remarkably low prices, particularly
during the last five years. The cost per
ton for ship construction has gone
down"

Sewer assessments b.
fore CITY Fathers.
Young Bsmby' Reed Bound
Over on Serious Charge.
Miss Mabel Bsbtoek Returns from
Noxie with Two Fine Deer.

The assessments on the AUDITORS of
the recently constructed sewer on FIRE.
mont street and Lincoln avenue were
considered at a special meeting of the
hoard of mayor and aldermen Monday
evening. Mayor Gray and Aldermen
Hodgkins, Stephenson and Peaslec
were the members of the board present.
Three of the AUDITORS were present as
we're also City Solicitor Knight and
Engineer Danforth.
The assessments as made were as
follows: Byron Baker, $15.45; George
f.. Hathaway. $15.S5; Fl. A. Billings.
$1,000; William T.. Brown, SEAS; A.
r. Reynolds, $l5.4i; George s. Will
liams, $685.: A. Il. Schuman, s3S. 90:
Fred f. Southard $1215. Total,
$3.50. Tho total cost Of the sewer
was $525.l,.
George s. Williams said that for 13
years the land had been used for q
city drain and that his assessment had
been ahatcd because the land was TAX
on over for that purpose and a second
assessment should not be made Will
liam T.. Brown said that the service
now was no better than it was before

all right. He said the sewer was more
for the benefit of Dresden avenue sec
ton. He had received from Mr. Az
wood Il copy of the city record where
by the aldermen acknowledged the
drain as city property. George A.,
Hathaway had two grievances, one
that his lot was no larger than some
Of the others although it was assessed
as more; three years ago he made re-
pairs on water course which ran
across his land and incurred expense
to $3.50 and thought he should re-
ceive some recOmpenSc.
Engineer Danlorth gave a history of
the drain or sewer in question In 1897, q
sewer was built on Fremont street and
entered the drain on Atwood's land. on
Oct. 4, 1891, an order to construct n sewer.
on Fremont street and, according to the
order. a copy of which was read, to enter
into the sewer owned by the city on At
woods land. The law says sewers con-
structcd and assessment made shall be
maintained by the city. No assessments
were made on sewers until 1902.
The contention was that the drain was
city sewer. and if the city wished to
change the location to suit someone else
then tn" AUDITORS should not pay.
The question seemed to be whether or
not the city was still responsible for that
drain, Engineer Danforth said he had
examined the records carefully and could
md no records where the city claimed it,
except the one noted above. After con-
siderable discussion the aldermen voted
to let the assessments stand as made.
