REPLIES TO CRITICS
Assistant Secretary Allen Says Gov
esnnest Supplies Cost Less h
1914 Than 1913.

Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury
Sherman Allen yesterday answered criti.
cisms Of the general supply committee.
which purchases for the Executive De-
partment. and independent establish.
ments Of the government. by making
public a letter written on July 9 tc
Mr.. Allen by Superintendent Of Supplies
c. H. Briggs. ...
In the letter are comparative figures
showing that the committee has paid
less for supplies for the government for
the fiscal year 1914. than was paid for
the fiscal year 1918. and the giving OF
this fact to the public was the only
answer made by Mr.. Allen to the long
list Of charges against the general sup
ply committee. These charges against
the committee were made chiefly by local
business men.
Superintendent of Supplies Briggs, In
his letter to Mr.. Allen. shows that the
prices paid by the committee for drugs
and chemicals, laboratory apparatus.
Photographic supplies. engraving and
printing supplies and incandescent lamp
supplies were the same for 1914 as for
1913 He shows there was an increase
10 per cent in lumber, II per cent in
groceries and household supplies. and Z
per cent for fuel and ice, in 1914 over the
preceding year.
Mr.. Briggs also states there was Q de-
crease in the prices for 1915 as COM
pared with those of 1918. Of per cent
in stationery. Z per cent In hardware,
per cent in electrical and engineering
supplies. Il per cent in paints and oils.
per cent in furniture. and Is per cent
in forage. -four and feed.

his aid.
Before leaving. Mr.. Daniels spent the
greater part Of the day discussing the
pleted dry dock at Pearl Harbor. Ha-
wall. Work on this dock was inter-
rupted several months ego by the com
plete failure Of one section OF It.
There are now very grave doubts In
the minds of many naval experts as to
whether the dock can ever be built on
Its present site. The dimculty consists
In the nature Of the foundations, which
are coral strata. Under severe pres
sure II has been found that the coral
will disintegrate. and It was this yield
ing under pressure which caused the
ruin Of the completed section Of the
dock.
The Pearl Harbor dry dock and sup
Elementary works there represent an
investment Of many millions. and the
failure of the dock ID one Of the most
serious problems the navy has con-
fronted in many years. Secretary Dan
iels feels that the responsibility placed
upon him in the matter In SO great that
he now plans to call In the most expert
builders and engineers and BIOLOGISTS
that he can obtain. and ask their opin-
ion as to the advisability Of continuing
the work. The contractors are ready
to give up the job. but many naval ON
GERS maintain that the dock can be built
successfully on its present site.
