SELLING OUR SHIPS, The question of determining what is going to be done with the vessels built by the“government and now in control of the shipping board should ing to the former chairman of the shipping board, this government will own 1900 steel vessels representing approximately 11,000,000 tons by Sep- tember ~° this year..

She displayed more than the usual attitude of sat- istaction and just a hint of propitia- tion. “Supper won't be ready for another twenty minutes,” she smiled as she pointed to the big easy chair in the bungalow parlor. “Sit down and let me ‘tell you what a perfectly exciting time I had today at the wWomens meeting at the church.” . “Tell me about yourself instead” suggested her husband flatteringly. “That's lots more interesting. You know I don’t care a hang about those church affairs.” “Oh, but you must,” insisted young Mrs. Harpenter mnerveusly. “’Cause, Charlie, this one concerns you.” “Hum,” said Charlie uneasily. “Go on with the story.” “Well, you know that horrid Mrs. Hopper—how she lords it over a lot of people here.

It wants to borrow $23,000 and to be relieved from paying back $27,000 previously borrowed or a total of $50,000. It seems to me it was only about three years ago that the city was in- vited to and agreed to let the 'de- | partment have an additional $50,000 to carpy it through the year, After that about a quarter of a million was authorized to be spent on the plant. Still if I am properly inform- ed the plant is not able to meet the demands, hasn't enough money to meet requirements now and cannot see its way to paying $27,000 of a loan of $45,000 made to it by the city in 1918. It is time the people got some light on this matter and found out how much more they are expected to lay out on this cestly plaything. Yours very truly.
