TAYLOR
IS OPTIMISTIC /.
\ OVER OUTLOOK
Says Shipbuilding IN Brunswick
Is Now Merely in Its
Infancy.
STEEL BUILDING TO BEGIN
President of Brunswick Marine
Construction Corporation Ar
rived in the City Yesterday
f0r Weeks Visit.
STEEL BUILDING TO BEGIN

A severe blow was dealt yesterday
to those who might have negative
opinions regarding the future of the
shipbuilding industry in Brunswick
when William u. Taylor, president of
the Brunswick Marine Construction
Company arrived at the Bay atreet
offices and pulled Off his coat (cr a
weeks campaign of Industrious oc-
cupation.
In answer to the many questions
propounded to him by a News re
porter, Mr.. Taylor had nothing to say
except that, which would express
nheerfulness and highest remark for
the future welfare of the city.
Aside from his encouragement re
garding the early manufacture of
many steel vessels at this port. he
grew personally reminiscent when he
said that among his several visits to
Jeykl Island in the past he vividly re
calls, one in particular. which might
now be termed the inspiration Of
Brunswick's present industrial posi-
ton.
"At that time" he said. Il do not
believe shipbuilding was thought of
here At least, | saw nothing which
suggested it," he added unless ii
the general topography, of the little
city
Among other remarkable state
ments Mr.. Taylor said he believed
that so long as ships would be built
in America of both steel and wood,
Brunswick will undoubtedly continue
to be known as shipbuilding center
THE investment is here" he EN-
phasiZed, "and great deal >nure is
on the way" sa1
Machine tool plants, smelling
works. giant riveters and all the nee
essary steel working appurtenances,
will shortly be installed here, accord
ing to our visitors authorized state
ments. and Brunswick, which is al
ready known from coast to coast for
her manufacture of wooden vessels,
will row loom up as one of the lead
ing shipbuilding centers in the Unit
ed States for the making of every
class of merchant marine
The principal reason for Mr.. Tay-
lor's visit today is to witness the sail
ing nf the "William Taylor" and the
"Nissequogue" on their maiden voy-
ages from this port during the week.
Regardless of the submarine men
ace the William Taylor will leave
here on her maiden voyage for a for
eign port under the able command of
Captain Thomas n Sanborn, and will
shortly return to an American har-
bor from whence she will pursue
regular commercial course
The Nissequogue will not sail for
several days after the Taylor leaves,
and no mention of the exact time nor
destination will be announced for the
present.
In conclusion Mr. Taylor said that
there is no apparent reason why
Brunswick should not continue to be
known indefinitely as both ship
manufacturing center and also val
liable shipping point for every avail
able product of the South.

COAL PROFITS

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Nov. 81,
- Charging that retail coal dealers in
some localities are attempting to REAP
excessive profits, State Fuel Admin
istrator Wallace Crossley last night
declared that the people of Missouri
are not going to be imposed on if he
could prevent it.
He said he hoped the local fuel
committees would not be fooled by the

piling up the cost of coal to the con-
sumner.
His interview followed the action
of the Missouri Public Service Com
mission requesting coal operators and
dealers to eliminate the ~re-consign-
ment of coal cars.

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. II, 1917. -
Dear Friends: We are being treated
fine here and the hospitality of the
New England people is something we
will never forget. Powell, Barnes,
McClinick, Mildred and myself were
sent here from Newport; Eubanks
was sent to Norfolk and Rockwell,
Williams, Plunkett and Watts were
left in Newport. We r aboard a
large receiving ship at the Common
wealth Pier, which is the largest in
the world. After the strenuous train
ing at Newport, everything comes
easy here and l hope we stay awhile.
Although they are sending them out
every day, some on transports and
some on battleships; our turn may
come any time and we are all ready
to go. Boston is a large city with
many theatres, pretty girls and sub
WAYS. You can ride around all under
the city and get lost very easily in
the narrow streets that run every
direction. We get liberty every 9TH
err night and as hours every other
Saturday which means we can 60
ashore Saturday morning and not re-
turn until Monday morning.
The officers are not so strict as in
Newport and the regulations much
| better; they all say the training sta
ton is the hardest part of a sailors
career. There are about 1900 men OF
the ship and the working hours very
short. As the work can be done II
quick time with so many men, oul
drilling is light, only enough to keel

amusements on the ships, the Y. M
