SHIPS FOR CANADA NAVY
YARDS FOR DOING THE WORK TO

Located at Halifax In

Ottawa, Ont. - The triumph Of thu
government over the opposition in the
house Of commons on the naval policy
and the overwhelming defeat Of res
olutions declaring that there should
be an appeal to the people before the
creation of the Canadian navy means
that contracts for the construction of
Canadian war vessels will be let
shortly.
The contract will call for the con.
struction of four cruisers of the i'm
proved Bristol class and six torpedo
boat destroyers of the improved river
class. They are all to be built in Can
Pda and as there are no yards at pres.
ent In the dominion capable of doing
the work. negotiations are in progress
with several firms of British shiphuild.
ers for the establishment of such
yards.
There is keen competition between
six British firms, as the contract for
all the vessels will be placed with one
firm. 1t means the establishment of
mat firm in Canada, where the demand
for both war and commercial shipping
Is bound to grow.
The Canadian government will aid
in the establishment of the new shin.
building industry in two ways. 1t is
prepared to allow the British firm
which gets the contract for the con.
struction of these first ten vessels a
considerably higher price than is paid
in British yards. It will also sub.
sidize the plant and dock under a
statute providing aiG for dry docks.
First Ready in Three Years.
Vickers Sons & Maxim, and Harland
& Wolff of Belfast are among the firms
mentioned as bidders. 1t is calculated
that it will be three years before the
first vessel is completed. The last of
them will be in the water at the end
of six years.
The vessels will be designed by Brit.
ish authorities. Both the cruisers and
the destroyers will use oil for fuel.
