D. s. URGED TO KEEP

Senator Fletcher A dvis
Against Scheme to Sell Craft
to Private Interests
FAv0RS MERCHANT MARINE

The government should exercise its
option and acquire title of Hog Island
and continue to build ships there, ac-
cording to Senator Fletcher. Democrat
Of Florida.
Senator Fletcher has gene on record
as against the Hurley plan of dispos-
ing of the ships to private concerns.
He voiced his opposition to the hur-
lev plan on the floor of the Senate yes
terday. The senator has recently re
tired as chairman of the commerce
committee of the Senate.
''The government should retain its
feet of merchant ships" he said, "and
should continue to operate them and
receive the enormous profit that is now
made in bottoms. This will make up for
some of the loss sustained in the ship

In the meantime get the benefit of the

PARAMOUNT DAM
IN BAD CONDITION
Entire Supply Depends Upon
Pumping Station With Anti
quated Equipment
RESERVOIR IS TOO SMALL

West Philadelphia supply Of filtered
water originates at the Belmont pump
ing station on West River Drive, Fair
mount Park. and is wholly dependent
upon the Schuylkill river and the safety
of Fairmount Dam.
The dam. originally built in 1917. is
wooden structure typical Of the back
woods of Maine and Michigan.
Cpon the dam depends not only the
suction pool from which all the stations
along the Schuylkill river take, their
water. but proper reserve in times of
low pressure.
The dam was rebuilt in 1874, was
badly damaged by floods in 1904. and
was repaired. only to be shattered again
by heavy ice jams in the winter of 1918.
Last year Councils spent S45, 900 in re e-
pairing the structure. and it weathered
the mild winter of 191S-10.
Director Datrsman. of public works.
long ago asked Councils for S400. 900
to build dam which would insure
safety of the supply and be in keeping
with thd>park surroundings. Later this
request was repeated at $500 900. The
estimated cost of a modern dam is now
placed at 81 200. 900.
Davis Calls Dam Unsafe
Chief Davis and other engineers have
characterized the dam as unsafe and
lacking in strength to withstand ice
pressure or food conditions.

board expected to order 12j ships Of
from II 200 to $4,000 tons 'to round
out" the merchant marine fleet and to
expend S25 900 900 in building ten dry
docks large enough to accommodate the
largest vessel.
Mr.. Hurley said this program could
not be carried out if the Senate bill
making it unnecessary for shipyards to
secure permits for the construction of
ships for foreign nations were enacted.

would be built at the places where they

measure over indefinitely.
