WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. 2s.-ESpecial. +
Secretary Tracy's letter on the subject of q
dry dock at Port Orchard was laid before
the Senate committee on naval affairs
today by Senator Allen and Representa-
tive Wilson. He recommends that the
dock be 600 feet long, 75 feet wide and 50
feet deep. He points out the advantages
of the Port Orchard site. He makes it par
ticuIariy plain that the timber and coal,
which are within easy reach, are strong
reasons why this particular site is an adj
vantageous one.
Senator Allen believes the committee
will recommend the passage of the bill at
this session of congress. He has made a
complete canvass of the committee on the
subject, and has favorable assurances from
a majority. If possible, he will secure the
consent of the members individually to be
allowed to report it without waiting for a
meeting of the committee.
