This is the first time in more than fifty years that any American ocneem has been glen British business to do Work on the two boats, which will be strictly cargo and will rarry no passengers, will be started shortly and they are ex pected to he rotrtnlt.l ii.w i,nr. Al though the price of the Bhlps was not made known, conservative etlmates place the value of the contract at $1,250,000. To some men acquainted with the chang ing conditions In shipbuilding, it was only a matter of time until British firms wero forced to ask American firms to build ships for them.
