DRYDOCKS CERTAIN
FOR PHILADELPHIA
Howard Coonley, Emergency
Fleet Head, Declares Three
Sure to Be Built

Drydocks for Philadelphia are now
assured.
Howard Coonley vice president of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. said the
erection of three drydocks here was a
certainty; that he thought it possible
that the transaction would be put
through with private capital and that
regardless of this. the docks were as
sured because IT, after March Is. def
nate action has not been taken by local
financial interests, the government will
at that time begin dredging at the navy
yard, where the drydoclls will be To-
Gated.
u have recently had a conference
with William Il. Law and William j.
Conlin. both OF the por, facilities commit
tee of the Chamber OF Commerce. which
gives promise of bearing fruit" said Mr.
Coonley. we still have the matter
under advisement and the time limit for
the action by local interests. originally
set for March !. has been extended TO
March 10 to give the committee more
time to become thoroughly acquainted
with the situation before it acts"
Mr.. Coonley believes it would be vastly
better for drydocks TO be erected and
maintained at the port OF PHILADELPHIA
by private interests. but in the event OF
failure to successfully float the project
the government itself will Immediately
go ahead with the construction.

following accident when the injured man
receives no compensation reduced from
fourteen days to seven days. Another

Auditor General Snyder has made It
plain that the merchants must pay a

Mr.. Dawson said that the Auditor

Mr.. Dawson said it would be difficult
to predict what amount the State would
