launched two months ago had it pot been for
the fact that the government has no dock at
this port available for receiving the ship. This
made it necessary to put on the propellers be-
fore the launching.
Work has been going forward at the same
time on the interior, and the vessel is said to
contain approximately one thousand tons more
steel than did the Utah when she went down
the ways. On the Utah work was done on tbs
basis Of a ten-hour day, while by law II has
been necessary to construct the Florida
eight-hour day schedule, with a half holiday
on Saturday. Nevertheless. it is expected that
the Florida viii be completed in July, 1911 the
month when the contract for the Utah requires
that that ship shall be finished.
