SHIPBUILDERS' VIEW IS' PRESENTED TO BOARD
Do Not Believe Present Routes
 Would Prove Profitable

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Spokes- men for the American Merchant Ma rine are unanimous in the opinion that 1t Is useless under existing cir cumstances for the shipping board to attempt to sell its tonnage with the proviso that the purchaser continue to operate specified routes.
 committee of the Council N American Shipbuilders in conference today with the policy committee of the board indorsed the opinion pre- viously expressed by representatives of the owner and operator groups as to the unattractiveness of govern ment tonnage in the shipping market The committee, through Homer L. Ferguson, president of the Newpor News Shipbuilding and Drydock com pany, it's chairman, declared that spe- cific preferential treatment to Amer ican shipping would be necessary to offset the advantages held by foreign tonnage.
 Among the suggestions advanced for such preferentials were:
 The bringing of the Philippine trade with the United States under the coastwise laws. giving of reduced railroad rates on through shipments for export and import only when carried on American flag ships; ab- rogation of those portions of com- mercial treaties with foreign nations that prevented preferential treatment in tonnage taxes to American flag ships; giving of preferential customs duties on imports in American ves- sels and preferential treatment ot American flag vessels In Panama canal tolls.

FAIRFIELD WILL ASK
 FOR ISSUE OF BONDS FOR PARK PURCHASE
Property Held on Option Will Be Taken at
 $6O,OO0
FAIRFIELD BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD ! FaIrfieId. Ala. March 20 |

The city council of Fairfield at all adjourned meeting held yesterday called an election to issue bonds for the purchase of the park. Two years ago the city paid $3,000 for an op-a tion on the park until the city's pop ulation would legalize bonds for park purposes. That time having passed. the council will ask the voters for s6O,000 with which to complete the purchase. The option money will be credited on the purchase price. which leaves s57 ,ooo to be paid to the Fair field Land company. The park con tains several acres. but the area to be purchased does not include the plaza. The council will later issue a statement as to the negotiations leading up to the purchase of the property, and is confident the voters will approve the purchase. On the same day the voters will be asked for bonds totaling s1o.0oo for the purpose of buying the present site used as the jail and the court house. Mayor M. w. Pratt said Thursday night that the two issues, he thought, would be voted unanimously.
