Debate on the REPORT OF The COMMITTEES
on 70 much of the PREsIDENT' MES
SAGE as relates TO NAVY YAiDs and
Docks.
Mr.. Mitchell moved that the foufe do
now refolge i,felf into committee OF
the whole, 10 ccnfder the report of the
feleef committee, to whom had BEN re-
ferred that part OF the Prehdent' mel
fage which relates to improvements OF
navy wards, and the confruefiol OF a
dry dock at the city of Walhingt'n.
The motion, after a ihort convefiation,
was agreed TO, and Mr.. J. c. Smith took
the chair.
The fire re{olu,ion was read in-the fol.
10 wing words
Rcf5lved, that fer fecuring from waite
and lois the timber and other public pro-
pefty on the different navy yards, and
towards improving the fame for the great
er dipatch of buGnefs, the Secretary OF
the Navy. under the direction Dt the Pre-
Gdsns OF the United States, 1nall caule the
reouiGtc buildings and (heds TO be erected,
and other needtuI repairs and improvements
70 be made and for accomplishing the
fame dollars are hereby
appropriated, to be paid out of any mo-
MES ia the treafu,y not otherwife appro-
priated.
Mr.. Mitchell obferved, that there
would be no need of much argument to
convince the committee of the propriety
ofadopting the propoftion before them.
There were FIX navy yards belonging to
the nation. There were quantity of
timber and materials for naval prepare
tons on each of them. Thele had been
pnrchafed at great expsnce. and dePofted
for future ufe. BY virtue Of exiting con-
tracts, more timber, particularly that for
building the fix 74,s, was expeefed.-
When collected and delivered at the leve-
raj places ofdefination, it ought to be pre-
ferved with the greatef care. This tim
Der was of the mof} precious kind.
Much Off was live oak from the iouth-
ern fate. The quantity asd value Of it
in the yards at New. York, Portfmouth,
Norfolk, Chariefown, Philadelphia and
Warrington, could efeen in the reports
OF the Secretary of the Navy. Many OF
the pieces for keels, aems and fern potts,
were very feleeted and diaicult to be pro-
cured. That invaluable timber was grow
ing fcarce. In the prosrefs Of cultivation
and the arts, large number of them
had been extirpsted, and according to
prcfent profpetf atime would before long
arrive when foch materials as we now poi
tets and which are bought and paid for,
could MOI be got for money. Some OF
iheie naval articles had already been
damaged for want of "a leaionable aP-
for the better projections
from the weather. The Inning of the
