IS ENORMOUS
 INCREASE IN
 SHIPS COST
Since War Began-Vessels of Mississippi Cost Now $700,000 More.

Washington, Jan. 2.-War condi- tions have brought about an enor-i mous4incTaase in the cost of buildss ing waTships, Rear Admiral Taylor, Chief of the Bureau of Construction and repair, told the house naval committee today in discussing the 1920 naval appropriation bill. Fe estimated that the hulls and machin- cry of the ten batt!eships and six battle cruisers authorized in 1916 would cost nearly $150,O00 900 more than estimated, an increase. of al- most fifty per cent.
 Admiral Taylor said he did not think it was likely that the end of hostilities would result in the any speedy reduction in costs. After tie Civil war, he said, there was no ap- propriate lowering of costs of lanor and materials within three years.
 'The battleship Mississippi, new ship delivered last year, was built on contract for $7,115,0OO," the ad- miral said, "but the company which built it lost large sum of money and when 'ibids ,on the battleship California and Tennessee were ask ed for, no contractor submitted a bid under the estimated cost of ST. 800 900. The government decided to build them in it's own navy yards, and the cost will amount to proba- bly, $11, ,250,000 each, an increase of 43 per cent over the estimated cost.
 "The same increase will apply probably to capital ships authorized in the 1916 three year program. For the ten battleships, and six battle cruisers provided for in this pro- gram, I imagine the increase will amount to nearly $150,0OO,000. This applies to the hulls and machinery alone. I would not venture to say how much the increase will be for the armOr and armament, but I will make inquiries and let the commit tee know"
 Admiral Taylor said the cost of constructing merchant ships has in- creased from $75 to $200 a ton, while the cost of battleships has in- creased less than fifty per cent This has been accomplished, he said, by exercising the greatest ec- onomy possible in the government navy yards and by close super vision in private yards which are building battleships on the Cost plus" basis.
 "The original estimates for the battleships Colorado, Maryland, Washington and West Virginia, on which construction has been start ed," Admiral Taylor said. twas $11,- 500,000. It is doubtful if they can be completed for less than $15,550,- 900.
 eff there has been an increase of $150, 100000 over the estimated cost of the 1916 three year program, what will be the increase be in the three year program just recommend ed by Secretary Danjels?'' asked representative Butler, of Pennsyl- vania.
 "The cost is estimated at $500, ,000,- 900, but the estimates for the indi- vidual ships are not much larger than for, those made in the 1916 program. Surely they cannot be made any cheaper than those being constructed now"
 Admiral Taylor replied that there may be large reductions in the cost of construction before the program is started The 1915 program will not be completed until 1923, he said, and the new program cannot be put into ~ rnll swlng 6elors the present present (Continued on page five)
