Them in Repair.

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov 24-Commodore
Farquhar, chief OF the naval bureau, yards and
docks, in his annual report gays: The appro-
priation for the maintenance of repairs and
preservation has been So limited for many years
past, that 1t has not been possible 10 provide for
the necessary repairs, or to arrest the deterors-
ton due TO time and neglect. Unless speedy re-
lief 10 given many public buildings, wharves
and docks will be past repair. The command
ants of the various navy yards and stations
have asked for s46l .392, under maintenance, and
for sSl7,711. under repairs and preservation, to
maintain the naval establishments under their
command. The bureau has reduced this total
TO 81, 100000 and hopes with this amount in an
other year TO have everything IN ereditabe
condition. II recommends dry docks OF suffi-
cient capacity to admit the largest battle ships
to be constructed at New York, Philadelphia
and Norfolk without delay.
The new navy demands of this bureau addi-
tional wharf room. more dry docks, better tacil-
ities for taking coal on board and appliances
for handling heavy arInor and guns. Contracts
have been entered into Tor immense travelling
cranes at New York and Norfolk. II also rec
ommends that provision be made for lighting
the different yards by electricity at the rate of
one year The number OF naval engineers
constituting the corps OF that name, is regarded
as insufficient to perform the duties of design
ing, constructing and maintaining the many i'm
portant engineering and architectural works
under charge OF the bureau, and 1t is reco m
meuded that the corps be increased TO twenty
The entire amount asked for by the bureau
during the next fiscal year is S5529,976, of which
