Vashington, Dec. 11.-Four Ameri can shipbuilders submitted proposals to the Navy Department Wednesday for the construction of one each of the four gigantic thirty-five knot bat tle cruisers authoriz;,d as a part of the 1917 building progranm. No esti mate of cost ere included, each bid der taking advantage of a ne pro vision of the naval appropriation act and offering to build a ship for cost plus from 10 to 15 per cent profit. The bidders ere the 'Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Com pany, the Union Works o San Fran cisco, the Fore River Shipbihdiing Company, of Quincy, Mass., and ;vil liam Cramp & Sons, of Philadelphia. The only other private builder in the country that might have sought one of the contracts is the New York Shipbuilding Company, which' notified the department that its stocks al ready were filled with other work. Since no direct proposals under the lim ination of $16.500,000 for the cost of hull and machinery of each ship was received, department oflicials be gan at once an examination of the cost and percentage oilers with the expectation of working out a uniform agreement under which each bidder will receive one of the ships. The Newport News company and Cramps fixedh 10 per cent as the pr'ofit they dlesiredl, while the other two comp~a ni, s suggested 15 per cent, but were willing to leave it to the fedei tradle commission to determine a fair rate. Thle Fore IRiveir co)mpeny and the Union Works submflitted prop~osals for geared turbine drive for the ships as a substitute for the turbo-election 'i-Nn des red by t he dlepa rtment. ft was said there was no likelihood that these Oilers would be . accetable. The time hi xed for deli very of the ships ranged from 418 to 5I months and while some modifications may be secured from the bidders it is prac tically certain that the first of the huge vessels will not he 'ready within four years for a trial to dletermine if it has the thirty-five knot speedl for which it is dlesignedl. It dleveloped to dlay that the exact tonnage for wvhich the department's plans call is :3.1,600. With the battle ciruiser contracts awvarded the only portion of the 1917 nrogram remaining unpllacedl will b~e three scout cruisers, bids for which have been readvertised and will be opened next month.
