CONSOLIDATING THE STORES.
The Navy Department Taking Measures
to Garry Out the New Law.

A circular has been issued by Secretary
Tracy designed to carry into effect the pro-
visions OF the naval appropriation bill for q
common store for the entire navy, instead, as
heretofore has been the case, Of a separate
store for each bureau. Formerly each bureau
bought all Of its own stores and supplies and
by e1pending all the money appropriated for
its use had, as a consequence. = constantly in
creasing stock, growing larger from year to year.
These accumulations have not been as valu-
able as at the time Of their purchase, owing TO
their age. A year ago q new system Vas au-
thorized. enabling the bureaus 70 exchange
their extra stores on transfer acquisitions, but
this only partly remedied the difficulty, owing
to Discrimination on the part Of the bureaus
to give away their stores without adequate
lent stores, and in many cases il
was cheaper to so into the open market and
buy new stuff. The late act provided that here
after all supplies purchased with moneys ap-
propriated by that act shall be deemed to be
purchased for the navy and not for any bu-
reau, thus forming a common stock by means
OF which the enormous accumulation of for
mer times will be prevented

himself to be placed under obligations
