"An Ideal shipbuilding plant on a
mud creek" Is the way Representative

"If thcic Is much dredging, done." he
continued.' "both In front of the was

"On the other hand. I think Phila

drydocks As a matter of fact. Con
Cress will not meddle with the affairs
of the Emergency b'leet Corporation,
which has a fund for such purposes, and
no one will Interfeie with anything that
will help win the war. I feel sine that
every ofllcial and ecry workman is do
ing all in his power to turn out ships
We need ships, and from what I have
seen of the Delaware I know that we
are going to get ships."
l.orntion of Dock
It was indicated that In all proba
bility one dry dock will be located at
Pctty's Island, another at the mouth of
the Schuylkill and the third at the foot
of Porter street, Philadelphia.
W. Averlll Harriman. son of the late
E. H. Harriman and chairman of the
board of directors of the corporation,
when told of Congressman tireene's
caustic criticism, said the site was se
lected by the coiporation and approved
by the Government, that It was the only
yard on the Delaware that w as not nut
to great expenfe for dredging, and that .
there was twenty-six feet of water in I
the channel at high, tide instead of its ,
being a "mud creek." I
Other members of the commission said I
they did not agree with Representative '
Oreene. His preference for Fall River,
they emphasized, is because of his con'
