Senate Opposes Lodge
On Leviathan Repairs
Forced to Withdraw His Amend
mcnf Giving Boston Yard
fIsopre IN R;I
{ hence 10 Ri,

WASEINGTON, Feb. o-An effort by
Senator Lodge, Republican, of Massa
chusetts, to have inserted In the inde
pendent Offices appropriation bill al
amendment which would allow goveia-
ment navy yards 80 bid on rccondto Oh
ing the giant liner Lev.athan cncoua-
tered so much opposition in the Senat,
to-day that he Withdrew IL. Announcing
he would renew +, later.
The amendment proposed would -
quire the Shipping Board TO obtain bids
from navy yards for reconditionins:
work before letting contracts to prl-
vatc yards. The board recently re-
ccived bids from private Yards for re-
conditioning the Lcviathan, and New
England interests have been attenptir,. {.
to obtain cons deration by the board
cf bid from the Boston Navy Yard.
Senator Lodge, in withdrawing h =
amendment asserted that the amend
mcnt was in the interest Of economy
because the government yards could do
repair work in many instances more
chcaply than private yards.
Senator Overman, Den,ocra of North
Carolina, a member Of the Approp~ia-
tlons Committee, however. interjected
that the testimony before the commit
tee had indicated that private shin,
yards could do work more cheapiy.
Senator'S King. Democrat, of Utah, and
Hitchcock, Democrat. Of Nebraska,
pressed for an explanation as to
whether the amendment would compel
the government navy yards to maintain
large forces, and Senator Lodge stated
that the direct purpose Of the amend-
ment was the repair OF the Leviathar.
upon which no navy yard could give "a
estimate under the present law.

As the People View 1t


Editor Morning Journal:
My good friend, Mr.. McMilllon,
is mistaken in his conclusions that
l attempted in any manner what
ever to convey the idea to the city
commissioners at their last paving
meeting, that L was speaking for
ANYONE but myself in advocacy of
their going on with their original
paving program. On the contrary,
| stated as plainly as language can
convey, tlat was representing n
one but myself. From the time of
the first meeting, some three or
four weeks ago, when this pavins
program was first brought before
the people, up to this last meeting
the night Of the 18th, | had prac-
tiCaily dismissed from my activities
all action in the matter and would
not have attended this last meeting
had l not been requested to do Sc
only Il few hours before the meet
ing was opened,
| was in the same boat as Mr.
MCMillion as regards this last
meeting. l did not know that the
paving program was to be settle
that night, but should not have
been there had l have known it,
only for the request of a persona
friend to do so.
Mr.. Hebenstreit stated at tn
meeting, that he had asked as
many of the protestants as he could
get in touch with to attend the
meeting, and expected many to p&
present.
l knew nothing of all this, II
fact did not know what l wa
wanted for until after L got there
Now, Mr.. Editor, ] am q little
sensitive upon the subject of beins
! illogical or inconsistent and wan
to state why | have seemingl'
changed from a protestant to al
advocate of the paving of Coal ave
nue.. At the first meeting on thi.
paving business, when the council
rooms were crowded with protest
ants, 1t ceemed to be Amos
universal IRON the property own
ers on Coal avenue, that they were
not against paving as such, but be
fore they would consent ,to it two
things must be settled in theil
favor, first, that the prices mus
come down, and secondly, we coulC
get along without the paving il thu
viaduct was not built.
As to the prices they might b.
compelled to pay. they had a RICH
to be frightened, with the know
ledge still fresh in their minds tina
the big paving program of a coupI'
of years ago carried with it an eX
penditure of more than 100000 o
the peoples money at price hov
ering around 81 per square yard.
Compare that with the prices w
are now getting. AS to the vladuct
1t is bound to be an absolute neces
sity In the very near future T.
build an up-to-date concrete via
duct as it is universally admitted
that the principal travel betwee'
the east and west sections of on
city must of a necessity be over tn
viaduct.

but that the viaduct bonds viii

take for us to defeat them an,

ments will carry with it the other
