912 .divided as follows: Bethlehem,
$42,321,237; Carnegie, $32,954,377;
Midvale, $20,353,298.

a cost of $279 per ton. Although this
is $31.83 per ton higher than the av
erage of nine official government es
timates, even taking this figure, the
government would have saved $34,
392,981 on armor plate since 1887.
