First Step in Preparation For Work to Go
On is Accomplished; C. E. Noblit
Talks to Our Reporter

some one who understands the bust
mess thoroughly with view to a sue.
cessful outcome.
The second proposition is this: The
company will accept contracts based
on a cost and profit basis, thereby as
surfing success in. carrying out the
contracts. This is practically the
basis that the government has assum-
ed in it's dealings with contractors ii
the construction of vessels. 1t is equa-
BILE and just and assures good work at
reasonable profit. 1t is the method
ipreferred in government work where
efficiency is essential.
The third proposition Is this The
company will sell the plant to any re-
sponsible individual, company or cor
poration who will guarantee to utilize
it to the advantage of the city, in the
building of ships. The fourth propo-
sition is that: They will lease the
plant to any one who is competent to
carry on the business.
Any one of these propositions is now
open. And it seems reasonably GER
l$ain that one of them may yet be
made the basis for continuing the
work in Tarpon Springs.
AS the plant now stands it's physical
valuation, according to the statement
of Mr.. Noblit, is $4,000, and it is 90
per cent efficient. That is, it is 80 per
cent complete. Surely this is an asset
to the city.
In view of the many details entering
into the adjustment with the govern
nent, it will be conceded, we think,
that the work has been accomplished
with expedition. The people of this
city are to be congratulated and the
management complimented.
The country is undoubtedly ap-
preaching period of great industrial
activity, and we are sure that this city
will come in for her reasonable share.
Business interests seem to indicate a
brief period of depression, due, of
course, to the general change from a
war to a peace basis. There will be,
according to the general business
pulse, a slowing down of industries
until the return movement has been
established and confidence secured.
Readjustment will necessarily bring
many changes. The business methods
will be bound by entirely new condi-
tions and requirements. The general
uplift of humanity brought about by
the great victory of the Allied armies
will be attended by new necessities
and demands. Necessarily, while the
tide turns slowly, perhaps, from the
war industries to those of peace, there

The evening leader., 1918-12-09

The first necessary steps toward thu
ireopening of the Anclote Shipbuildine
company's plant in this city have beer
accomplished. The work of the man
agement of this concern, since the can
collation. of it's government contracts
has been that of adjustment with the
the government. This, of course, was
necessary before further operations il
the way of future contracts could be
entered upon.
The company announces, through its
president, G. Z. Noblit that a perfect
ly satisfactory, adjustment has beer
made with the government. In fact
the settlement has been made better
than the company had hoped for. The
settlement gives the company full re-
endorsement for all money expended,
including labor, material, ETC., and al
lows them tiattering dividend on the
investment with good profit on the
work accomplished.
The contract which the company had
with the government called for cai-
cheney. The only grounds for can
collation. of the contract on the pa N
of the government would be inetficien-
cy. This being the case, and the work
at all stages being pronounced by gov
ernment agents to be 100 per cent
efficient, it remains that the govern
ment could only bring it's work to an
end by making satisfactory settle
ment with the company. This 1t has
done, as all who are acquainted with
the government methods of transact
ing business knew full we'll it would
do as soon as the conditions could be
alTiver at.
The company is now ready to take
the next step toward placing the plant
in operation and thus bringing indus
trial prosperity to Tarpon Springs. It
must be conceded that ship building
plant here, employing hundreds of
men at big wages, would mean pros
porous times. 1t is at least one of the
best industries that we could hope to
acquire.
In making careful study of the
situation as it now exists the company
has formulated a plan that compre-
hends four propositions. The first of
these propositions is: The company
will transfer to an individual, compa-
ny or corporation, competent to figure
on contracts and carry them out,
block of stock on terms so advantage
Gus as to make it an inducement. The
management recognizes the fact that
none of its members are competent to
either figure on a ship building con-
tract or superintend its execution.
They will, therefore, negotiate with

"It was his duty to co. said Sena-

outlined by President Wilson have
been received by our own people, by
the allied nations, and finally by Ger
many and Austria. What remains to
be done is to apply those principles. It
is only fitting that he who. conceived
those principles should have a part in
