and the award mudn In conformity to
their recommendation. There socins no
doubt but that one ship, sit leust. will
come here, the Newport News Company
being the lowest bidders', and unless
the Union Iron Works should revive
their bid to meet thai Of the former com?
pany both ships will piobnbly be secur?
ed for this place. As the Union Iren j
Works must cut their original bid by
kSSU.nOO Is It quite unlikely that they will
accept i he contract at such low figures. |
