New York Shipbuilding Corpora tion, bidding on the same basis of both hull and machinery, bid $54,794,000. Three Bids, Three Ships These last two bids do not include cost of guns and armour, which is estimated at about $20,000,000 a bat tleship. The three companies were each bid ding on a single one of three ships proposed to be built in private yards. In a sense their bids were nut com petitive since there are three ships to go around among the three of them and since none of the three is umli stood to be anxious to get the contrarf for more than one ship. However, it is taken for granted that a contract could not be let at a higher price than the lowest awarded to any one. What will result is uncertain. High naval odicials were disappointed in the amount of the bids. Their construc tion plans call for having a total of six battleships under contract by the end of this fiscal year. There are two already building m navy yards. A third is also scheduled for a navy yard. But there are only three navy yards capable oi building battleships. Therefore; to get their building pro gram under way in accordance with their hopes, it is important that pri vate companies build the other three. The bids this time are not only slightly different from bids by private companies m June, I!):!7, for the first new pair of American battleships Wins Million I 4 O CLUB rrn;NEws CRABTRKE 4-11 CLUB Kichlyn Holt, Reporter.
