NAVY REOUISITIONS
STEEL FOR WARSHIPS
1000 Tons From Ca1neSis
Company at Tentatipe Price.

WASHINGTON, May 14.--Acting under
authority conferred by war emergency
legislation, the Navy Department to-day
placed an order. or what amounts to a
requisition, for a. 900 tons OF steel with
the Carnegie Steel Company. The steel
is to be used in starting construction of
four battleships, work on which under
the act authorizing them must be begun
before July j.
Decision to requisition the steel was
reached to-day at a Navy Department
conference at which II was found that
the bids submitted yesterday for the
$4,000 tons were the same as bids previ-
ously submitted ana which were based
on prices agreed upon between the steel
manufacturers and the now abandoned
Industrial Board of the Department OF
Commerce. The previously submitted
bids were rejected on the ground that
they showed no indication of competi-
ton.
The order, according to An announce
ment issued by acting Secretary Roose-
Welt, was placed Eat n tentative price
subject TO later adjustment" and ex.
planned that the Carnegie company was
the only bidder submitting estimates on
the entire order. The announcement
said:
To-day the navy placed with the
Carnegie Steel Company an order for
about $4,000 tons OF steel required for
beginning construction before July I.
1919, of battleships 40, 80, 81 and 81.
ordered constructed at New York. Nor
folk and Mare Island navy yards.
"The order was placed at tentative
price, subject to later adjustment after
further conferences with the Carnegie
Steel Company officials.
THAT company was the only complete
bidder on the entire schedule OF require
ments. By placing the order with one
company the navy felt assured of better
service and a more convenient and eco
nomical inspection"

for the faithful, untirins, tender min

the 26 years of his services here.
Colonel Chew emphasized the fact, al
ready recognized in the community,
that the hospital stands as memorial
to DR.. Venning, to his energy, enter
prise and enthusiastic conviction of the
need of such an institution, and faith
in its ultimate success. DR.. Venning,
in a brief outline Of his work here,
credited most cordially a share of this
success to the kind cooperation of the
other members OF his profession,
touching upon the difficulties and dis
couragements before the object was
obtained. His expression of thanks
and appreciation for this occasion
rang true and sincere and, though
hearts were sad, smiling faces and
cordial greetings marked the hour. Re-
freshments were served by the hos
pital nurses, and at no late hour the
guests departed and the hospital was
quiet. DR.. Venning and his family
leave for their new home near
Charlottesville, Va, followed not only
by deep regret of their many friends
here, but also with the best wishes
for their future happiness and pros
perity. 6.
