Ey the Associated Press.
The Navy Department today car
ried forward its program Of rehabili-
tating the idle naval torpedo center
at Alexandria. Va. with award Of con-
tracts for erecting roofing and sky
lights and for painting work.
The contract for roofing and sky
lights. at a cost Of $l0.S00, went to
j. ]. Fisher Co.. Inc. Brooklyn, and
the $500 painting contract went to
M. G. Moshithes Of Pittsburgh.
A contract had previously been let
for restoring the chimney.
An appropriation of approximately
81 ,500.000 was carried in the 1899 ap-
preparation act to start the work of re-
storing the wartime plant to operating
condition. and Navy officials estimated
the work would require two years to
complete at total cost of approxi-
mately $2,750,0O0.
Reopening OF the plant was provided
for after a bitter congressional fight
and over the protests OF the Rhode Is
land delegation, who sought to have
the funds applied to expansion of the
plant already in operation on a "a
hour basis at Newport, r. I.
Navy ofdcials estimate the Alexan-
dria plant will be able to produce an
