FLINT, Mich. July 25.--Flint tax
payers have again extended their APP
proval to the proposal of the board

district for sufficient funds to build
another needed school building. This
permission was granted almost I'M
animously by the % taxpayers pres

held in the Central high school

issue was decided favorably because
it was emphatically impressed up

"Ths Is the simple scheme of propulsion
adopted for these new cruisers. II is known to be

"one Of the disadvantages of a single engine

way OF gearing down the power was proved be-
yond reasonable doubt. This system Is also be-

"There are several reasons why the cruisers
must be so much longer than the dreadnaughts--
approximately half as long again. The most i'm
portant Of these Is TO insure the fneness of line
forward and the long smooth run indispensable to
speed with sufficient buoyancy to sustain the un.

enough for the number OF boilers which will sup

that way These boilers will contain many miles

"A special problem for the engineer after the
design Of her hull has been fixed, Is to determine
the size Of each Of the propellers their position
and the pitch Of the blades. A factor In solving
this Is the number of revolutions which the en-
gines will give and the number which will give
the best results. Although we have built no ships
of this size and design and have no relative data

purpose we will supply separate generators; but
