CAarieste~s Navy Yard.
The Boston correspondent Of the New York
Tiass writes that the majority Of the Com
mittee to whom Was referred the matter OF dis
continuing Charlestown Navy Yard and uniting
Il with the Kit,ery Yard, are 10 favor Of the
measure. amer having examined into the sub
iect. He also says: g.. .. ....
There are number Of influences at work to
bring about the removal Of the Navy Yard. IL
Is claimed by the City Of Charlestown and the
merchants Of Boston that this Government
Is OF no positive bene6t to this Sec
ton, and that IL ought to have been discontin-
ued long ago. Its water front Is too limited
for It's purpose. and the growing demands OF
the commerce Of both Boston and Charlestown
require its dscontinuanoe. Under the present
the latter city has but very
limi,ed water front for vessels Of large sire,
the land occupied by the Yard embracing OF
least one-haR of the available area for COM
metcisl and private purposes. Its discontinue
ance also would create large tract OF terrific
~ for building purposes, and enable that city
to extend its facilities for increasing Its wealth
and usefulness As port OF entry. The discon-
tinuance Of the Navy Yard would also be Of
to the growing city OF Chelsea,
which Is connected with Charlestoun by .
bridge over the Mystic River, which loses itself
II this point. But perhaps one OF the principal
Influences ut work for uniting this Government
with the Navy Yard at kittery. Is
founded In the enterprise Of erecting bridge
10 connect East Boston with the city proper.
Il il known that the only obstacle remaining to
DO overcome ~ Q realization Of this project Is
The existence Of the Navy Yard, which lies
above the points Of the proposed bridge.
