YARDS AND DOCKS.

Annual Report OF Admiral Nichols--Thc
Estimates for Next Years Improve
ments.
Rear Admiral Nichols, chief of tho bureau
Of yards and docks, in his annual report, says
The estimates for the fiscal year ending June
so, 1885, are as follows:
For general maintenance Of navy yards and
stations, $4,000.
For navy yard, Portsmouth, N. H., for water
works, $25,0O0
For navy yard Boston, rebuilding wharves,
floating gate for dry dock, water pipes, &C.,
S135,000
Navy yard, Brooklyn, boiler shops, building
for general storage, dredging, &C., 1881 600
Navy yard, League island, dredging and
landing wharf, $4,000.
Navy yard, Washington, ordnance machine
shops, dredging, and continuation of yard
wall, $14l 900.
Navy yard, Norfolk, extension of quay wall,
pump, well, culvert, marine railway, coal
house, &C., $625, 1000.
Navy yard, Mare island, dry dock, ,wharves,
bridges, cisterns, &C., 100000.
Naval station, Now London, quay wall,
$15O,00O.
Naval station, Key West, purchase of NAL
lory lot &C., $10,500.
Thelostimate for civil establishments at all
of nearly $4,000 over the present expense.
Estimates for repairs and preservation of all
the yards and stations, 100000; and for the
naval asylum at Philadelphia, $92, ,251. The
total estimates are 3,166,6S1.
The estimates for general maintenance, re-
pairs and preservation, civil list, and con-
tingencies, are very nearly the same as those
presented last year. The report says that
experience has proved that the sums appro.
priated for the fiscal year just closed under
the first two heads, were inadequate to meet
the demands upon them, and an additional
appropriation of $4,000 had to be made,
which sum barely carried the bureau through
the year on q scale of expenditures which
certainly was not advantageous to the inter-
ests of the government, in that it did not
admit of many things being done which
properly pertain to the bureau Of yards alone,
and only admitted of tipkering where
thorough repairs wero necessary. 1t is doubt
ful if the saving made by the reduced appro-
priations will in the end compensate for the
losses which may occur from theft and fire.
Admiral Nichols says he "has no hesitation
in saying that the reduction of tho appropra-
tions for repairs and preservatives was not an
economical measure, as for the past two or
three years the appropriation has not been
sufficient to properly care for and keep in re-
pair the property to which it pertains; conse-
quently deterioration is constantly progr ess-
ihEt uhVii lIisltuu VI TS-
pairing will be in order. The so-called clos
ing of certain navy yards does not help the
matter much, for while the yards are closed
to work the valuable buildings and machinery
are still there, requiring to be cared for and
kept in repair, or else suffered to go to decay
so that when again occupied, everything is
sadly out of repair, requiring large expendi-
lures to again put it in working condition, OF
in case of selling, the property will be in
such bad condition as not to bring one-halt
its value"
