OVER 400,000,000 At That the t'ounlry Will gave About $200,000,1X10 On Naval Program Something In Halvage. Washington, Nov, 14. Actual cost to the I'nlted States of the scrapping of the present naval bjulldlng program, havar official! esttmHted today would be between 6400,000,000 and 6500,000, 000, exclusive of any salvage plan that might reduce this totuf. In his statement to the conference on limita tion of armament Haturday, present ing the Amerleun proposal, Secretary Hughes ssld the work already done had cost 6330,000,000, but these figures do not Include costs Incident to aban donment of the ships under construc tion. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt said today that the American program would save the government about 6300,000.000 In naval expenitures. That figure Is the difference between the total cost of oompletlon of the ships, about MOO.OdO.oliti. and what scrapping them all would cost.

According to Judge Webb's order the corporation is therefore abundantly olvont. Continuing his order reads; "That the receiver has only about 62.- 907.08 on hand and can only pay the outstanding debts of the corporation by large and sacrificing sales of, the properties of the defendant essentiul to Its continuance as a going .concern or by the borrowing of thr amount necessary by the former directors or other persons interested In the defend ant corporation; that In a recent meet ing of the directors the receiver was requested to submit to the creditors of the corporation a proposition that the said directors borrow eufficlent money to "pay off all the outstanding debts on a basts of 40 cents on the dollarj immediately if sum proposition be ac cepted by the creditors, and to leave some working capital for the defendant business, the laid business .to be con tlnued hy a reorganisation of the cor poration; that the said receiver has served as such efficiently and with the devotion to the work of the aald re celvershlp of practically the whole of his time since his appointment with out any compensation." Judge Webb ordered and adjudged that the receiver submit to the credit ors of the corporation the proposition made by the directors; that if the credit. ore agree to such plan they will un dertake to borrow enough money to pay off at onVo all such debts on the basis of 40 cents on the dollar, except the first mortgage debt to the Greens boro National bank of 610,000 which would he paid oft In full, The court allows In the orrtor signed Mr. Daniel to take from the funds of the corporation when it can be done without prejudice to the continuance of the operation of the receivership the sum of 61,000 for the present on account of his services as such receiv er. , The Southern Truck and Car cor poration's plant Is located west of the Central Cnrolina fair grounds, INFANT IIAIKillTKR OK MR.
