New Shipyard Is
Building at S. F.

Dan Hanfon will have the most up
to-date and efficient steel ship con
struction yard on the Pacific Coast
according TO his announcement yes
terday. He will introduce the best
features OF the yards in the North

ing his recent trip East, says the San
Francisco Examiner Of May %.
A. r. Highfield, one Of the best steel
construction men on the coast, left
the Northwest Steel Company in
Portland and came back here with
Hanlon, arriving last Saturday night,
Highfield has had experience at New

Scott and then to Portland.
Hightield went TO work yesterday
morning laying out the plans for the
steel construction yards of the Han
lon Dry Dock and Shipbuilding Com
pany. He will arrange for the install
lation Of the very latest devices.
Hanlon, who returned with High
field in tow on Saturday night, yes
terday gave out something of his
plans for the future. He is backed
by some OF the soundest financial or
ganizations in California and has
capital enough to put through his
ideas. Here is what he said in part:
Within six months will have a
steel construction yard that will be
the most up-to-dRte ON the coast, not
excepting any 81 them. They talk

MUCH CRITICISM
OF BOAT PLANS

Captain A. F. PIllsbury, represent
alive of the United States Shipping
Board on the Pacific Coast, returned
to San Francisco from Washington
with a few plans and little to say
What he would say was about like
this:
General Goethals is against talk
ing. But l may answer few questions
II they are not too intimate.
Yes, some contracts have already
been let. They are given to rep,
resentatives OF Pacific Coast firms
who were in Washington and who
named prices that we're considered
fair by the board. Some were for
steel and some for wooden ccnstruc-
ton.
No contract will be let under per
centage. | have brought back with
NE some of the plans. including the
general offsets of the wooden vessels
20 he built. The balance Of the plans
will arrive by mail shortly.
The mum Der of wooden ships TO
be built on tnis coast is stQl pro-
blematical. | do not think that more
than 100 contracts for delivery within
q year will be given, as we have been
given to understand that that is about
the limit
AS soon as the last plans arrive
I shall call for tenders all along the
Pacific coast. The wooden vessels
win be Of one design. The plans were
drawn by Theodore Ferris Of New
York and call for a vessel of $500
tons deadweight carrying capacity
with steam engines Of 1900 horse
power.
Much Criticism
The shipping board, or rather Fer
ris, plans for one-design wooden ships
which have so far arrived here, have
been subjected to a severe criticism
by local wooden construction archi-
tects and builders. But the general
consensus of opinion seems to be that
while there IS a definite lightness of
construction and fastenings, the Fer
ris wooden ships will floats. F.

HARD HIT BY
RISING PRICES
Company Will Have to Increase
Rates or Quit Freight
Business

So hard has the Inter,Island Steam
Navigation Company been hit by war
prices on numerous commodities that
the abandonment Of the freight bust
ness is being seriously considered,
with the alternative Of increases in
the company's freight and passenger
rates
This vas the gist Of the testimony
OF President James A. Kennedy last
night at a meeting Of the public utili-
ties commission in the pubic works
department office.
Mr.. Kennedy asserted that the cost
OF catering for meals TO passengers Is
higher by $4,000 each month than 1t
was a year ago. and that IN the first
three months OF the present year the
earnings OF the transportation depart
ment were less by $4,000 than for
the same period one year ago.
The sec uring Of coal Is the hardest
problem the company is facing. said
Mr.. Kennedy. who added that the
company was refusing to make con-
tracts for coal longer than for June.

going up rapidly.
The shipping president stated fur
ther that If the Matson Navigation
Company should put its boats on the
