Admiral Harris Gives
Information on Cost OF
Naval Building Of Today

Washington. Nov. 2:.-Light on the
high and growing cost of navies was
given the House naval committee to-
day by Rear Admiral Frederick r. Har-
ris. chief of the bureau of yards and
docks. Explaining his estimates for
the fiscal year 1918. Admiral Harris
said increasing prices of material and
labor were rendering the huge navy
building program on which the coun-
try has embarked doubly expensive.
Submitting an estimate of 100000
for shore station maintenance as
against $1.So0,00o last year. he warned
the committee that the actual sum
needed would be nearer $S.000.000.
which would buy no more than the ST.
100000 did a year ago.
Admiral Harris was doubtful that it
would be possible to construct at the
Philadelphia yard within the estimates
the thousand foot drydock for which
Congress appropriated $3.000.ooo. A
similar dock at Norfolk. he said. APP
parently could be finished at that price.
