I is anticipated that construc tion of yachts, barges and miscel laneous Amall craft in 1921 will follow the general trend of busi- the Yacht building In smaller yarda has been active largely in the completion of con- tracts taken in 1929. There haa been a distinct falling off of yacht contracts in 1930..
Small Craft.
"The same condition applies with reference to small craft such carfloats, barges and tugs, where there has been considerable activity in the completion of con- tracts taken in 1929. There is a dearth of new contracts, however, due to the general depression in business. There has been very little building of small craft on the west coast.
"As a result of the Merchant Marine Act of 1928, five vessels are now being extensively recondition- ed and two others, for which con- struction loans were granted, have been completed. Shiprepairing on the east coast, Gulf and the west coast has shown a large falling off. particularly in the late months of 1930, due to the generally depress- ed conditions of business. The volume of work and the number of men employed are,, therefore, well below normal for the year."
Of naval work the report says: "Of the 8-in, gun scout cruisers authorised by the Act of February 13, 1929, only one can be contract- ed for prior to 1983. Under the Act this vessel can be started in 1981 and built either in a private shipyard or in a navy yard.
The Administration's pro- gramme for the fiscal year begin- ning July 1,-1931, calls for the construction of four submarines, ten destroyers, ons aeroplane car- tier, one destroyer leader, one 10,000-ton cruiser, mounted with experimental flying-off deck for aeroplanes, carrying 6-inch guns, and one 6-inch gun experimental
