Water town arsenal to compete with private firms for government work
The fortifications bill authorizes the Watertown arsenal to bid against private firms for government contracts. The measure, advanced by Representative Dallinger of Cambridge, is expected to boost local employment. About five million dollars is allocated for ordnance work with Watertown to receive a proportional share, as the overall appropriation was cut from 117.7 million to 18.8 million, with Secretary Baker directing the scaling of estimates.

Geneva April 9 The Germans are feverishly building giant commercial airships and passenger aircraft. The Nordstern airship flew around Lake Constance for half an hour with seven crew. A 1000 horsepower hydro airplane carried 20 passengers on trial flights. Both were built at Friedrichshaven as the airship factory expanded since the armistice. Reports say results are concealed and press coverage is scarce.
