The report described mt the outset, the
contract entered into by the Emergency
Fleet Corporation on September l3, l9lI
under which the American international
Corporation of New York agreed to pur-
chase $40 acres of land at Hog Island to be
utilized for the purpose OF the contract
upon six per cent rental basis; to build
on this tract with funds furnished by the
Emergency Fleet Corporation shipyard
of fifty ways, and to construct with funds
supplied from the same source fifty or
more steel cargo ships Mt an estimated
cost of 81 .10O. 900 each. On October -
the feet corporation placed an order for
seventy additional steel ships estimated to
cost 81 $50, 900 each, and on May Z, an
order for sixty more ships to cost 81, 40,
900 each. All q the $50 ships we're to be
completed by August 4, 1919. hese
orders necessitated construction of longer
ways and piers, and more shop and stor-
age capacity.
AGREEMENT WITH CONTRACTING co.
The contracting company's compensa-
ton for building both the yard and the
ships was fixed at percentage of the
estimated cost of the ships, with premiums
for early deliveries or savings IN cost and
penalties for DELAYED deliveries or IN
creased cost. The maximum fee under
this arrangement would be $l4, ,44O, 900
and the minimum fee SS,910,OOO. Mr.,
Piez testified yesterday that to date the
company had been paid nothing.
This IS the conclusion As to criminal

New Highway Engineer

Upon recommendation of Major Gen.
eral Goethals, the State Highway Com
mission on Thursday appointed Will
liam g. Thompson as state highway
engineer for five years, at salary OF
$1,000. His appointment will date
from April l, when the term of Robert
A. Meeker, the incumbent, now on
leave of absence, will expire.
Mr.. Thompson has been acting state
engineer since the resignation of Mr..
Meeker was forced by General Goethals.
He was formerly associated with Gen.
eral Goethals as an engineer OF con-
struction on the Panama Canal.
The commission approved a recon-
mendation of General Goethals that
Edward E. Reed. OF Trenton, be ap-
pointed assistant engineer for five
years, at a salary of $4,000. This ap-
pointment will become effective when
the construction work on the new
State highway system actually begins.
General Goethals asserted the belief
Thursday this will be about April l,
as it is planned to advertise for bids
during the coming month.
The commission adopted an amend.
ment to Route by incorporating in
the State highway system what is
known as the lake route, at Harmon
ton. The change had been advocated
by residents of Hammonton and vi
cinity.
Senator Wells and County Solicitor
Peacock, OF Burlington County, sub.
mitted to the commission resolutions
from Burlington freeholders requesting
approval of consents for a survey OF
the Burlington Florence, or river road,
and the Vincentown- Earl's Corner
road. The commission was without
available funds to authorize the sur.
vey, but consented to have it made al
preliminary to construction work,
which will probably be undertaken
when funds are available.

Next Draft In Nav or Lime

New insight into the plans of the
War Department. for conducting its
part OF the war was afforded in q state
msnt made on Friday by Secretary
Baker before the House Committee on
military affairs. The evidencs'brought
out revealed these principal faces:
The next draft will not be called
until May and probably not until June
next, when 500, 900 additional men will
be certified for service in the National
Army.
The Provost Marshal General desires
to disregard the existing plan for the
apportioning of men called from the
various States and asks for power to
call any number from any State.
General Crowder desires also to have
included in the next draft men who
have become 81 years of age since the
general registration last June.
The war Department is without
definite estimates of the number Of
men who will be in France this year.
