WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-Commodorc
Farquhar, chief of the naval bureau of
yards and docks, in his annual report
to the Secretary of the Navy says that
appropriations have been so limited for
many years that it has not been poSSi-
bic to provide for necessary repairs or
to arrest the deterioration due to time
and neglect. Unless speedy relief is
given many of the public buildings,
with wharves and docks, will be past
repair. Commandants of the various
nGvy-yards and stations have asked for
S46l,7ll for repairs. The bureau has
reduced this to total of $4,000 and
hopes with this amount in another year
to have every thing in crcditable condi-
ton.
