TELLS OF GROSS
WASTE IN SHIPPING
Millions of Material is Exposed to
Weather - Equipment Received
After Plant Is Closed.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Machinery
and shipbuilding equipment, valued at
millions of dollars, was left out in the
open to deteriorate in value months after
plants were closed down with the ending
of the war, Paul II. MacNeiI, former
resident engineer Of the shipping board
in the South Atlantic district, testified
yesterday before the Walsh congressional
committee, investigating shipping board
affairs.
AIucNeiI said he was stationed at Sa-
vannah and had five yards under his SUI
peryision, his immediate chief being r.
Fl: Dillingham; at Jacksonville, the dis
trict plant engineer. Just what his au-
th0rity was he did not know, he testi-
fed, but he said he assumed a great
deal in the endeayor to straighten out
tangles.'
Speaking of the National Shipbuild-
ing company, he said that work there
had shut down previous to his arrival on
the scene. Il found nothing had been
done to take care of the properties, and
valuable machinery was left uncovered
to the weather" he said. On his own
responsibility he took steps to save as
much as was possible. He inVoiced the
property as to quantity and percentage
depreciation but not as to value. His
guess" ut its value was between ST.
100000 and $2.000.000. He also as
serted that in the auditing Of the affairs
of the plant 1G1 numbered vouchers
could not be accounted for.
Another point he made was that he
discovered equipment. ordered previous
to the closing of the plant, was still COM
ing to the yard. He tried to have it
stopped and suggested it was new and
could be returned to the vendors by pay
ment of the freight only.
They told me to keep my hands off
and let the machinery come" MacNeil
declared.

it had not played q single Vermont team,

The city school hoard, having re-

contract for constructing the new
grade school, replacing the old Park

The original award was made as the

on the new building will be started at
once.
