Cost Due to Luxuries.
In their investigations the engf'
neers studied the cost of the pas
senger dirigibles used in Italy and
other countries where the balloons
are manufactured. and discovered
that the tremendous cost was due
not to the essential parts that entei
into the construction SO much al
to extravagances in luxuries. Tney
also discovered that the companies
operating abroad lost considerable
money because OF the prohibitive
passenger fares that were charged
Their report recommends the con-
struction of craft Of a substantial
comfortable type, but without the
luxuriance OF the foreign craft. In
this way the cost Of construction
and operation would be consider
ably lower and this would enable
the American company to charge
lower fare.
