Senator CLEMONS - With regard to the first part of the inquiry, I ask Senator Ready to give notice of a question, if he wishes to get any information beyond that which I gave to the Senate yesterday. In regard to the second part of the inquiry, if I failed to give information to the Senate yesterday, I am only too glad to give it now. The date for putting the new boat in the trade is fixed at not later than the 1st September, 1915. It is the desire and the intention of the parties concerned to put the boat on earlier, if possible, but they are not bound to do so before the 1st September, 1915.

Senator Rae - Will the contract commence then?

Senator CLEMONS - The contract, as I stated yesterday, will commence on the day on which the new boat takes up the running.
