BIDS TO RECONDITION
LEYIATHAN ASKED
S10,000,000 May Be Needed to
Make Her Over Into Pas
senger Liner.

Another step in the long. arduous
and exceedingly expensive work oi
transforming the Leviathan into first
class passenger liner. the largest but
one in the world, has been taken
by the advertising for bids for the re-
conditioning of the ship. Before the
Leviathan is ready the Majestic. a sis
ter ship. lengthier by six feet, will be
in service.
The Leviathan, sound as to hull and
with engines in fine shape. but with ali
her fittings torn out to make room
for many thousands Of doughboys. now
lies at pier 4. Hoboken. Her refitting
has been called one of the biggest Jobs
in marine history, and the cost, together
with the conversion of her fire room
from coal to oil burning. will be be-
tween $5.000.000 ard $10,000,000. and
the work will take more than a year
to complete.
One of the biggest tasks In connection
with putting the Leviathan afloat In
first class shape has been accomplished.
This was the making Of a complete set
of plans md specifications of the ship.
job which comprehended measuring
by hand every dimension of the ship.
tracing the course Of every torn out
pipe or wire. mapping out every recess
Of her vast coal bunlSers and In gen.
eral reducing the facts of the greatest
ship that has ever sailed the seas to
mass of detailed information on paper.
The Germans were willing to give us
the plans Of the great ship for $1,0O0.O0O,
but a force of American craftsmen got
busy and after months of hard work
under William r. Gibbs. chief OF con-
struction of the International Mercan-
tile Marine Company, succeeded In doing
the impossible, redrawing the liner. How
valuable these plans are and how costly
may be seen from the fact that firms
considering bidding for her recondition-
ing are required to deposit $100 for eacn
complete set required
According to the announcement, bid
ders are required to state lump sum
price for which they will accomplish all
of the work specified Bids Will be re-
ceiyed at the office of Mr. Gibbs, who
Is the official of the /. M. NJ, the agent
of the Shipping Board. in charge of the
ship, at Broadway. up to December
2s. when they will be opened publicly.
The right to reject any or all bids Is
reserved.
Owing to the magnitude of the Job.
few bids are expected. Although the
reconditioning Of the ship is going to
be expensive, 1t would be more expensive
yet to allow her to lie at Hoboken. as
the mere upkeep OF tn ship costs the
Shipping Board $4,000 a month.
The only place In the United States
where the reconditioning could be done
Is at Boston. for in that port is the
only dry dock on this continent into
which the Leviathan would At. This Is
the Commonwealth dock, owned by the
Government, which can handle vessels
up to 1000 feet in length, or fifty Feet
longer than the Leviathan.

Soil Surveys Are
Guide To Buyers

That soil surveys provide a valu-
able basis for the prospective land
buyer, standard for the banker in
placing loans. and general founda-
tion for all future agricultural devel-
opment is the contention of experts
from all parts of the country who
gathered at the Michigan Agricultur-
al College Nov. 1S and 19 for the sec
ond Annual Conference Of the Amer
lean Association of Soil Survey Work
ers.
Twenty-four states, ranging from
California to New York, and five
Canadian provinces were represented
by fifty delegates who are the leaders
in American Soil Survey Work. Cor
relation of the survey programs of
the different states and exchanged
ideas on the newest developments in
the field marked the deliberations of
the delegates.
A boost for the Michigan soil sur
vey, started on sslall scale two
years ago by the soils department at
M. A. C. and the u. S, Bureau of
Soils, cooperating, and pushed active
ly since, was expected as a result OF
the conference, which emphasized
many problems pertinent to the Mich
igan work.
"Some soil survey work has beer
done in every state in the Union,
said w. j. Geib of Wisconsin, secre-
tary of the Survey Association. Can
ada is also taking up the survey ques-
tion and will be organized in the
near future. In Canada, as in this
country, the state or province agri-
cultural colleges cooperate with the
government departments in carrying
out the work"
A paper on Laboratory Work OF
Value to the Soil Survey" was giver
before the conference on Saturday
morning by DR.. NJ. NJ. McCool, heaC
of the NJ. A. c. Soils Department.
