MUST HAVE MORE MONEY
If Rattleship New York Is to Be Built
at a Navy Yard.

Washington, Dec 20.-It appears that
the navy department will refer without
comment to congress the proposition OF
the Newport News company to build
the battleship New York, sister ship of
the Texas, at the same figure, $3.50, 0O0
The department has been gathering
some data from the various bureaus
regarding the prQbahle cost of con-
structing this ship IN the New York
navy yard according t5 the terms ofths
last appropriation act and it appears
this cannot be done within the cost.
Latest figures show that to build the
New York = would involve an ex-
penditure for labor of $3,200,000. The
direct charge for material would be
SO, 10000, and what are known as in
direct or overhead charges, meaning
cost of superintendent, ETC., 81 900 900.
The authorized cost of the ship is s6,-
900, 900 so that it will be necessary to
have that limit increased by 81, 10000
if congress adheres to its original de-
cision that the ship shall be construct
ed in a navy yard.
AS no bid in regular form was re-
ceived for the construction of two col
Iiers authorized by the last appropria-
ton act within the limit of cost fixed,
namely, $1.000,000, it will be necessary
for congress to increase that limit
also if these adjuncts to the fleet are to
be built.
