There Is another little economy of the Democratic Superintendent that the Herald fonfot tocredit him with. WliPii Sunorintendont Leach, who did his own clerking, went out of offlce he turned over to his successor quite a little sum of money belong ing to the County Library fund. This sum hns been since augmented by the surplus resulting from the Coun ty Institute fees.

Many of tho vessels aro destroy ers and arrangements have been mndo for carrying out the $350,000, 000 supplemental destroyer program, which tho navy expects to bo com pleted In eighteen months. Contracts Inspected. Examinations of contracts by the legnl representatives of tho hulldois prevented tho formal signing ot the agreements today with tho six com panies which aro to build tho crafts, but Mr. Daniels said only minor de tails stood In the way of gcttitfg the vessels under construction. The companies awarded the con-' tracts are. tho New York Shipbuild ing Corporation, tho Cramp Compa ny, tile Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, tho Pore , River Ship Building Corporation, the Bath Iron Works and the Union Iron Works. All these companies have bad experience In destroyer building and this Is expected to make for rap id work. Tho Fore River Company, Mr Daniels explained, was the only one that had offered to build moro ves sels than were awarded it. Tic builders were called In, each except the Fore River, was given nil the work it estimated that It could un dertake, and the balance of the or der, details of which still aro with held, went to tho Tore River Company.
