Washington, Special.-The New port News Shipbuilding Company of Newport News, Va., with one bid at $3,9S7,000, and the Fore River Ship building Company, of Quincy, Mass., with a bid at $4,377,000 were thc suc cessful bidders for building the jig 20,000-ton battleships. Thc officials of the Navy Depart ment were gratified and surprised at thc lowness of thc bids, considering conditions in thc industrial world. They pointed out that the biri of the Newport News Company for one of tlic great 20.000-ton ships was not only between $400,000 and $500,000 less than corresponding bids from any other company, but actually con siderable less than the price submit ted for buildding the 10,000-ton bat tleship! Minnesota, and $3,000 Jess than the price paid for the battle-, ship Louisiana. With these bids from the ship builders were received special bids from thc naval constructors at the New York and Mare Island navy 'yards, prepared by thc direction wi thc department, as a check on the private shipbuilders. Thc figures of these bids have not been made pub lic, but it is known that they are considerably in excess of the bids submitted by the private builders. Thc bidding brought together the largest company of shipbuilders and other persons interested in naval con struction that has been seen in thc Navy Department for many months. The bidding itself was necessarily complex; the builders freely availing themselves of the Department's per mission to submit all sorts of combi nation and alternative plans. Those included straight bids on thc battle ship of thc standard type with rccip- ', rocating engines designed by thc j Navy Department itself; original bid- , tiers designed and combinations of the Department's hull plans with tur- ] bine engines, some with and some * vithout separate cruising turbines. The lowest bids in substance were ? is follows: I Fore ?iver Ri.?-?- - ' 'arson rs tnroiuu . " roft-Schnltz boilers $4,100,000 in liding cruising turbines.
