Messrs. EDrToRs In an article which an
peared in the Star of the evening of the 6tl
l instant. in relation to building some of tn
steam trigatss, recently authorized by Con
gress, at the Washington navy yard, tits state,
that the machine shops were more complet,
, than those of any other Government ward 70
the kind of wo:k required in the construction
of such vessels, This is all true and correct
The writer might also have added that il
said yard foundries capable of making th
largest castings, sm heries for doing the larges
forgings together with other shops, where th,
various work required in the construction O
steam vessels can be done up in the very bes
manner. There is also at this yard the Iiy
oak frames and prOmiseuous timber for on
first class frigate, one second class and on
| third class slOop-Of-war, from which it is IRE
sumed, one of the vessels authorized might b
constructed.
1t is hoped that the Hon. Secretary of tn
Navy, who has already done so much for til
interest of the navy in his brief admins ratio
OF the department under his charge, will nc
overlook the Washington Navy Yard, wher
the work could be done under his own eve. an
by mechanical skill without superior in an
part of the country. M.
