DICKER IN PRIVATE
County Commissioners Let Contract
for Another Luton Bridge.

After The county commissioners had
let the contract for the proposed
bridge across Nassar creek to the To-
peka Bridge & Iron Works on its OWE
bid, the bridge company backed up
and declined to accept the contract at
that figure. The proposed bridge
was not of the Luten design. Then the
county commissioners let the contract
to the Topeka Bridge & Iron Works
for a bridge of the Luton type at
price less than the bridge company
had bid originally. The fifty-dollar
forfeit put up by the bridge company
was not forfeited. Instead, ii was sim
ply switched from the nullified con
tract to the contract providing for the
Luten type of bridge. And the other
bridge contractors are sore.

company. that the commissioners
were going TO reject bids and then let

of just one company, should nave been

ONLY27PLUNCERS
Admiral Grant Says L. S. Needs
159 More Submarines.
He Urges Use of Big German {
Boats as Models.

Washington. Feb. 16.-Some plain
truths about the submarine flotilla of
the United States navy were laid be-
fore the house naval affairs commit
tee Tuesday by Rear admiral Albert
W. Grant. commandant of the flo
tilla. Rear Admiral Grant told the
committee that:
The United States now has in serv-
ice in continental waters five subma-
rines.
OF 81 submarines built and 80
building. only twcnty-seven are now
in seagoing condition
The United States should have 1856
submarines, is with the Atlantic and
, with the Pacific fleets, and the
remainder operating from shore sta
tons
The present type of submarine
should be discarded If favor of the
German L boat type of 500 tons.
Admiral Grant explained that the
small submarines now in use in the
United States navy were extremely
limited in cruising radius because the
crew could remain on board only
about ten days,
In our boats" he said, the men
cannot remain aboard for more than
ten days There is not room enough.
In the larger boats they can stay a
much longer time, about a month.
This adds materially to their eff
cheney.
The simple fact that 4 submarine
can take a long trip on the surface
does not mean anything to me, be-
cause the boat is meant to do its work
submerged, and its submerged capa-
city and speed and characteristics are
what are important. The question of
whether they can cross the Atlantic or
the Pacific is nothing. of course,
they have to get to places and it is
often asked whether they are sea
worthy OF course, they are. Any
thing is sea worthy when it is closed
up tight. The question of Importance
is how well can they operate under
water Now they can all go as far as
their fuel Will carry them"
Admiral Grant declared that with
1S6 submarines he would divide the
fIotilla into 80 divisions Of six boats
each, with six in reserve.
