The con- tract price for the Squando was $395, 000. The contractors claimed extra compensation amounting to $337, 329. 46, and there was allowed $194, - 525. 70. The contract price of the Nauset was $386, 000, the extra com- pensation claimed was $314, 768. 93, and the amount allowed $192, ...1 10. 98. The contract price of the side-wheel steamer Ashuelot was $275, 000, the extra compensation claimed was $8 1, 447. 50, and the amount allowed was $22, 415. 92. The different sums as thus adjusted were received by the contractors in settlement of their claims for extra expense, and receipts in full were given by them to the Government.

Evidently with the view of investigating and settling these claims, on the gth day of March, 1865, the Senate passed the following resolution: Resolved, That the Secretary of the Navy be requested to organize a board of not less than three persons, whose duty it shall be to inquire into and determine how much the vessels of war and steam machinery contracted for by the Department in the years 1862 and i863'cost the contractors over and above the contract price and allowance for extra work, and report the same to the Senate at its next session; none but those that have given satisfaction to the Department to be considered.
