"I can speak with autlioritv," said Mr. Tujlor, "as 1 have handled all ne gotiations regarding drj docks for our company. Mr. Stotesbury was not con sulted. We did our best to secure the assistance of the government, through the Shipping Hoard, for the erection of a bin drydock, but we failed. "Such an investment, especially after the outbreak of the war when every thing was costing two prices, was im possible for private capital. Our own drjdock was scarcely a paving proposi tion before the war. While hostilities were in progress thero were numerous transports to b" cared for, but it is a epiestion in to whether our dock will make expenses now- the war is over. "I heard of the New York Founda tion Company plan for a drjdock here, and talked the matter oer with some epresentatives. We also heard from other concerns which were figuring upon the possibilities of a drjdock. These men asked us for our experience and we gave them straight figures without m iptibble. So far us Cramps and Mr Stotesbttrv are concerned, we would welcome the building of n big drjdoek lie, but we e-oiild not rc-commcud ii construction as a financial venture." aiiout elrjcloiks. s tlds : Some nipii ith a scheme to build a drydock to cost between hl.Otid 1100 and S."i, 000.000. I know nothing about tlrydocks, and I didn't know whether one would earn enough to pay n return on the capital invested. "The public will not put its money in something it doesn't know will pay a return, so I suggested that they take their scheme up to Cramp's. I'p there thc know nil about drydoeKs. and I told Hip promoters I believed if Cramp's believed such a dn dock would pay they would finance it thcin.seles. "As for me hnvtng an iuteiest in Cramp's," Mr. Stotesbury added, "I own only a few shares in the corpora tion and have never served on the board of diiectors.

Discussing Mayor-elect Moore's as sertion that lie will run down and ex posp any interests opposed to decop meut of the port, Mr. Stotesbury mid: "I hope he does."
