t Months After Armistice,
Witness Declares.
l Nw York, Nov. 16. Machinery
&nd ship building equipment, valued
at millions' of dollars, was left out
in the open to deteriorate in value
months after the plants. 'were
closed down with the ending of the
war, Paul H.. MacNeil, a former
resident engineer of the shipping
boardiw the south Atlantic district,
testified before the Walsh commit
tee investigating shipping board af
fairs. , .
MacNeil said he was stationed 'at
Savannah and had five mef under
his; supervision,' his immediate chief
bring R. H. Dillingham at Jackson
ville, the district plant engineer.
Just what his own authority was he
did not know he testified' iut he
said he "assumed a great deal in the
endeavor to straighten out tangles."
. lie said the yards were well or
ganized, "better perhaps than the
emergency fleet forces, tor they gen
erally could get the better, of the
'government, organization." He
brought into his testimony, the
name of the Terry ship yards and
the Rational Ship Building com
pany and a marine railway organ
ization, over, which he had super
vision.' He said that the Jerry peo
ple had a trust loan from, the fleet
corporation to be used in ship con
struction and that over his protests
money in this fund was used to fi
nance a; subsidiary organization en
gaged in dry dock work, when their
'contracts were only about one
third complete. -, . !
No Precautions Taken. ;
Speaking of the National Ship
the work there had shut down prev
lluilding company, the witness said'
ions Ui his arrival on the scene,
"I found nothing had been done to
take care of the properties and valu
able machinery ws left uncovered
to the weather," he said. ' -iHe 'in
voiced the properties as to quantity
and percentage depreciation but not
as to value. His "guess" a . its
value was between $1,500,000 and
$2,000,000. He also aserted that in
the auditing of the affairs of the
plant 101 numbered vouchers could
not be accounted lor. -
Another point he made was that
equipmcntvprdered previous to the
closing of the plant was still coming
to the yard. He tried to have it
stopped and suggested it was new
and could be returned to the ven
ders by payment of the freight only.
"They told me to keep my. hands
off and let the machineryxome,"
MacNeil declared. ,V
. Equipment Exposed.
" The Terry yard, he testified, ad a
complete equipment and contracts
for several tajikers and composite
ships, none of which was completed.
He "valued the equipment of this

yard at about $1,500,000 and added,
that while there was sufficient lum
ber at hand to build sheds to protect
the exposed machinery, it was not
done. x The marine railway, he tes
tified,) was built on laud owned by
a private Individual, who had an
agreement for rental of his property,
with no specifieM amount named.
The railway was built with emer
gency fleet funds, amounting to
about $100,000 with an additional
$12,000 worth of filling supplied by
the government for another opera
tion This property, he said, was in coii
troversy, and it was his opinion that
under the laws of Georgia, it was
"owned by the man who had title
to the land." The rental asked, he
understood, amounted to about 10
times the appraised value of the
plant.
The witness said he had no criti
cism of the manner in which the
yards . under his jurisdiction were
handled while they were active, but
he did criticise the manner in which
the financing wai taken care of.
