u. S. TO ABANDON
NEVILLE ISLAND
ARSENAL PLANT
Largest Munition Works in
World to Be Dismantled
at Once.
GREAT SUMS EXPENDED
Land Will Revert to Original
0wners-Federal Loss
May Be Heavy.
GREAT SUMS EXPENDED

WARRINGTON, March IL. - Abandon
ment of the Neville Island ordnance
plant, planned as the largest munitions
factory IN the world. was announced to-
day BY the War Department. Not only
will construction be stopped at once, but
the buildings completed will be disman-
tled and the tools and machinery manu-
featured or nearing completion will be
transferred to other Government arse
nalS>of sold. The island itself. in tho
Ohio River near Pittsburg, will be
turned back to the original owners.
Cancellation of the project is absolute.
Reports that the Island would be re-
rtained as the principal ordnance storage
depot for the eastern part OF the United
States were specifically denied by the
Departments statement. For a few
months it will be utilized for storage
purposes to relieve congestion at other
depots, but when this need has passed
the property will be turned back to its
former owners.
Island Project Reached.
Designe primarily to supply the needs
OF the army for the heaviest artillery
the Neville Island project was pushed
from the day the site was definitely Sc
lected. May IA, 1918. until the signing
OF the armistice remove the urgent
necessity for its operation. hTe original
plans called for the production of fifteen
II inch rifles Nand 10000 II inch and
16 inch shells per month. Looking to
the future, however, the army experts
mad designed the machinery 50 that II
could be adapted to the production of
IS inch guns.
Construction and operation OF the
Neville Island project undertaken by
the United States Steel Corporation ''at
the expense OF the Government and
without profit" under an agreement
entered into at the urgent request OF
the War Department The estimates
called for an expenditure OF more than
$4,000, 900, the entire plant being de-
signed to cover 573 acres and TO EN-
ploy *, 900 men when in full operation.
1t was TO surpass in size and capacity
the Krupp works in Germany and the
Creusot factories in France.
Big Output Under Way.
The rapidly with which work on the
plant was rushed was evidenced by the
statement that 1S5 14-inch cannon pro-
duoed there would have been on the
battlefront by May, 1920. There was
no information, however, as to the
amount OF money already expended on
the project or the ultimate loss the
Government must stand.
With the end OF hostllities the need
for the great plant was removed, the
War Department holding that the peace
time needs OF the military establish
meat for ordnance could be met by the
manufacturing arsenals now in opera
ton and by contracts with private fac
tories whose facilities have been greatly
enlarged as a result of war orders.
