that with even thirty cents q pound

PROMISES so SHIPS.
ohicials of Hog Island Yard Say
That Vessels Will be Ahead Of the
Schedule.

washington, March 1.-Iaunching
OF fifty ships at the Hog Island yard
this year was promised the senate
commerce committee today by Rar-
ris d. Fl. Connick, vice president of
the American International Shipbui,d.
ing corporation, which is building
ships for the government. He said
twenty-five would be ready by Novem-
Der 1, another twenty-five by De-
cember is, and that all of the 12O
vessels contracted for would be deliv-
cred before time specified. July, 1919.
Mr.. Connick made a vigorous de-
fense Of the corporation against
charges of mismanagement and sx-
travagance, declaring that enormous
expenses beyond the original estimate
had been made necessary by enlarge
ment Of the plant and changes order
ed by the shipping board.
Members of the committee who re-
Gently visited the Hog Island yard
expressed the opinion that If the
work now under way there is sue
cessful the United States will be- in
position after the war to compete
with European ship builders. Mr.
Connick said there was no question
that the American merchant marine
could be placed in the front ranss
with the building Of fabricated, stand
ardized ships.
After the original contract for the
Hog Island plant was signed, the wit
ness told the committee, seventy 81
O00-ton ships were added to the pro-
posed output, which had been fixed at
fifty vessels of $500 tons each.
The original estimate on the prob
able cost Of construction at the yards
was made by Stone & Webster, csngi-
neering contractors, who placed. the
probable cost at SIS, 100000 Later
Mr.. Connick said $4,000, 900 was add
ed, but the cost has exceeded $21,-
100000.
