NAVY YARDS SHIP BID
UPHELD BY RUSSELL
Dreadnought Can Be Built
Within the Contract Price,
Commandant Says

A denial OF the assertion that the navy
yard never built a ship within its bid"
was made public today by Captain Rob
ert Lee Russell, commandant OF the Phil
adelphia Navy Yard.
Samuel Knox, president OF the New
York Shlpbuildirg Company, Of Camden
was credited with the statement relative
to the reliability Of the navy yard, and is
also reported to have said that the dread
nought to be built by the navy yard could
never be constructed for the contract
price.
1T Is a matter OF common knowledge
that ship can he constructed in
navy yard much cheaper than In pri-
vate yard" Commandant Russell said.
Naturally the Government saves the
enormous amount of money involved in
taxes on private yards: there are no in
terest charges that must be included in
the bids of private yards owing to the
large investment OF money involved, and
no insurance premiums to pay. Then,
again, the Government saves n constd-
erable amount on trial trips after ship
is completed"
The commandant also asserted that,
although the navy yard bid was more
than 81, 10000 below those of private ship
yards. he Is confident that the officials
who compiled the bid knew what they
were about. Answering the charge that
the navy yard never completed contract
at the contract price he said:
Anybody interested In the matter can
obtain tho figures in Washington. The
fact that the local yard underbid private
yards by more than N,0O0.0OO does not
alter my opinion that the local officers
can make good"
