SHIP BUILDING
PLANS OF The
GOVERN M EN- 7
TWO BILLION DOLLAR PROGRAM
REVEALED IN REQUESTS OF
SHIPPING BOARD FOR HUGE
APPROPRIATIONS.
(By Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 4.-PIans for a
two billion dollar government ship
building program We're revealed today
when the shipping board asked con-
gress for authority to place seven
hundred and one millions worth of
additional ship contracts. At the ga ME
time an immediate appropriation Of
eighty two millions is asked for an
extension Of ship yards and providing
housing facilities for workmen. No
new yards are planned by the board.
Thus far the shipping board has
been authorized to spend for ship
building $l,234, 100000 contracts for
most OF which are awarded. Today's
request brings the estimates Of funds
needed for shipbuilding to S2,01S,-
100000. The additional funds will be
put largely into fabricated steel ship
contracts. Fabricating yards have
contracts for about five hundred ships
now. which will keep them constantly
employed into 1919, but the board is
anxious to place more contracts and
begin on the task OF providing ma
terials
The boards housing plans call fo-
the expenditure OF about s35 00O. 900.
The remainder OF the $50, 900 900 asked
will I've used to expand the present
shipyards.
