The keel of the battleship North Dakota will be laid on' Dec. 16. This vessel being longer than any vessel previously built by the Fore River Ship Building' Co., made it necessary to increase the foundations for the building ways. These have been constructed of concrete and 59 are nearly completed, a very large amount of steel material has been received and a very considerable amount of shop work performed so that when the actual work of construction commences, it will be pushed forward very rapidly.
