The plans, as adopted by the com mittee-Monday night, do not differ ma terially from those first drawn under the direction of Lloyd J. Wentworth, district supervisor of wood ship con struction, and J. V. Hall, assistant supervisor. They provide for the use of great timber? produced in th North west and which cannot be usfed In eastern built ships becaus of difficulty in shipping them. A better and staunch -er vessel, more easily built, will result from the ue- of the big sticks. The eWimlftee sitting Monday with Messrs. Wentworth and Hall was cojn pojed of J. H. Price, formerly designer at the St. Helens Shipbuilding com pany's plant and at other yards along the coart : Charles Ruelinr. superin tendent of the Peninsula Shipbuilding company, and f. IC. Thayer, chief en gineer of the Mc' acherTOJfhip com pany. In acting upon the- plans and considering designs, suirgf-Mion of the American bureau and Lloyd's were con sidered, as both are to approve the plans before final acceptance by the government. To lessen danger to workman. L. H. DeForde. employed In the Grant Smith- Porter shipyards, has devised a plan of placing wooden shoots arranged along the ways. Into which Iron, bolts and stray bits of wood may b thrown with. out danger to the men blow. Sertoua accidents often occur from th fall ing of a piece of wood and DeForde's plan would obviate many accidents of this kind. The new French auxiliary schooner.
