To BUILD STEEL
VESSELS HERE
Perth Amboy Dry Dock to Ex-
pand by Using Raritan Dry
Dock Property
PURCHASED LAST JULY
Will Specialize in Construction
of Steel Vessels, 1t Is
Announced
PURCHASED LAST JULY

According to the present plans of
the Perth Amboy Dry Dock Company,
which concern took title to the prop
erty of the Raritan Dry Dock Com
pany, at the foot of Washington street
on July 81, 1918, this city is soon to
have one of the most complete and
up-to-date shipyards and dry docks In
this or New York harbor. Not only
will the concern repair both wooden
and steel ships as is the present policy
of the yard, but will specialize in the
construction OF steel vessels.
When the Perth Ambov Dry Dock
Company purchased the plant of the
Raritan Dry Dock Company, they did
not include in the purchase the ma
chinery and tools, dry docks or stock.
These materials were purchased by the
James Shewan & Sons Company of
Brooklyn, which concern has been op-
Grating the yard for the past few
months. The concern has now closed
down and are removing their pur-
chases to their Brooklyn yard. One
OF the largest dry docks has already
been fioated to the other yard and the
other will follow in quick succession.
The purchase of the Perth Amboy
Dry Dock Company, consisted of over
500 feet of land along the water front
together with buildings and derricks
retaining walls and riparian rights TO
the pier head line as established by
the United States government.
New Sectional Drydock.
The present plans of the new own
ers, include the building of a new
sectional drydock, each section be-
ing about 120 feet wide and SIS
feet long. There Will be five of these
sections built, making a dock over
450 feet long. to which other sections
may be added as needed. The work
of drawing the plans for the new dock
is now under way.
The company will replace the ma
chinery in the plant and will maintain
the yard for the repairing and build
ing of iron and steel vessels. I'm fact
the company intends TO use the new
plant TO specialize in this work. The
present plant is used for the repairing
of both steel and iron vessels as well
as wooden ones and no change in this
policy will be made.
There is only one drydock in this
section, larger than the one to be err
ected by the local company, this is
situated In New York yard and is
known as a $4,000 ton dock. The
new dock OF the Perth Amboy Com
pany will be a 10000 ton dock and
able TO accommodate all the ships
coming in these waters or New York
except the very large ones.
When the new plant is I'm opera
tion between 1900 and 1900 skilled
mechanics will be employed. This
number includes the mon employed
In both plants. II is expected the
Shewan & Sons Company will have
vacated the plant and the Perth Am
boy Company will be in control dur
ing the month of March or the first
of February.

Last Caucus Tomorrow Say
Wells Men Consider Compro-
mise-- Keeps Hands Off
BIZ Special Correspondent.


TRENTON, Jan. 3.--If the Repub-
lican state senators fail to reach an
agreement at their conference here
tomorrow on the question of who
should be senate president il will be
the last time in all probability that
they will come together on the subject
until the day the legislature convenes.
This was practically decided upon
at the caucus here last Monday.
At the request of the executive, Sem
ator William N. Runyon, of Union
County, yesterday discussed the senate
situation here with the governor. The
Union man said the governor told
him he was especially anxious that
the matter should be settled before
the legislature opens. but that he had
no particular choice for senate pres
ident.
There was a story here yesterday
that the Wells supporters were ready
to talk compromise. rather than allow
the fight to go TO the floor OF the
senate for decision and the possibility
OF the Democrats voting and helping
TO organize a house OF the legislature
controlled by Republicans. The ru-
NOR was to the effect that Case. OF
Somerset. would be made president.
and Runyon. of Union. Republican
senate leader. Case is a Mackay man
and Runyon, Is for Wells.

eral said:
II believe that even under the handi-

showing has been made TO indicate
that all the reforms l have mentioned

NEW YORK, Jan. 3:-Information
that approximately 1000 troops, in
Guiding some of the wounded, have
been removed from the American
transport Northern Pacific, aground
off Fire Island, was received by Navy
Department officials at 1890 A. NJ.
today. This intimates that fewer than
l,5OO soldiers remained on board, and
the work of removing these in small
boats was progressing fayorably, it
was stated.
The position of the transport was
declared to be virtually unchanged,
the danger of her breaking up being
no greater than II was last night not
withstanding the continued pounding
of the seas. Repairs have been made
which prevented water from entering
the holes.

Situation Dangerous.

The marines long familiar with
weather conditions along this stretch
of the Atlantic coast said that iff the
northern wind increased the situation
might become dangerous, preventing
the removal of troops except with the
breeches buoy and that even this
method must be hazardous one.
Blowing on from the northeast the
wind cut down the beach and gave the
sea an outward shift that is consid-
cred perilous for the convoy.

On two ladders and three ropes the
men swarmed down os er the ships

Meanwhile, power boats reached the

When the coast guards. life savers.

breaking higher than yesterday over

Several mighty good fields of wheat
are found in both the Echo and Pilot

and the average throughout the two

The greater percentage of the field
Will run around II to 20 bushels.
Point blank, L would place an esti-
mate of 2.250,000 bushels of wheat for

perhaps 100000 bushels more than
the county produced a year ago.
