HOG ISLAND PASSING.
Giant Ship Yards Are Being Rapidly
Demobilized.

Hog Island, the great shipyard near
Philadelphia. where the government
spent 10000, 900, is today almost de-
modified.
Where once an army of $4,000 men
labored frantically to build ships and
more ships, wrecking crews are now
at work with acetylcIe torches and
other instruments of destruction.
The government decided to dispose
of the great shipyard piecemeal after
attempt TO dispose of it as an entity
lad evoked only very low bids. Near
ly every day auction sales are held to
dispose of things ranging from house
hold furniture to steel in 100000 ton
lots. It is estimated that some S25,-
100000 will be realized on steel and
| equipment by the time the last sale
closes in December.
But the 946 acres of Hog Island,
which were swamp before the war,
will not be useless, for government
engineers have made it habitable. 1t
is expected that some large factory
will be located there after the ship
yards have been removed as 1t is
ideally located for such purposes.
