of attention to the question of consolidating
all the work of building ship, or at least
to harmonic the work, and he concluded
that this result might be achieved without
any act of Congress under the power vested
in the Secretary by law Under Secretary
Whitney's plan. as set forth in the bill
which the House in the Forty-ninth Con-
gress attempted to pass. he still had a
separate division of construct ton and re-
pair to look after the hull of the ship of
ordnance 10 look after arTnor and arma-
nent. and OF engineering to look after the
engines
His idea was to place one chief over all
these several divisions. each ceasing to be
oallei bureaus. but were denOminated di-
visions. and exercised their functions in the
same direction that the bureaus had before
but all subordinated to one chief, who had
power to harmonic Mr. Herbert found
that neither Secretary Whitney's plan nor
any other efficient plan would do away
with specializing work, and that there must
be specialists for each one of these several
classes of duties. His purpose was to secure
harmony and cooperation in construction
Of all the different parts of a ship.
The order just issued attempts to do that
1t recognizes that the chief of the bureau
of construction and repair is responsible
for the hull of the ship, and that the hull
of the ship carries the engines the armor
and armament. In the first place, all plans
for ship are the result of the cooperation
OF all these bureaus, approved by the Sec
rotary of the Navy, and the new order
secures this end. that after the ship is in
progress of construction no change of any
Importance can be made by the bureau of
ordnance in armor or armament, by the
bureau of engineering in machinery. or by
the bureau of equipment in fixtures that
will affect the ship, without having 1t sub
mitted TO the chief of the bureau of con-
struction, who shall forward Il with his
objections, If any, to the Secretary.
If the change involves the expenditure of
less than 500. ard is agreed upon by the
chiefs of the bureaus concerned, IT is not
necessary to submit ii to the Secretary
If the chief of the bureau of construction
cOnten Plates recommending any change
that Will affect these other bureaus il must
likewise be submitted through them to the
Secretary. This entails little more work
on the Secretary. 1t IMPOSES upon him the
task of reconciiing differences. preventing
conflicts and securing harmony, and it is
hoped that ii will be successful

Secretary Herbcrfs Plan for Com
structiBg Naval Vessels.

The general order issued by Secretary
Herbert placing the responsibility for the
design. structural strength and stability of
all vessels built for tie navy on the chief
of the bureau Of construction and repair is
expected to accomplish much good. The
defects IN the present system will be cor
rected and the differences usually existing
among the bureaus in the matter OF ship
construction will BE- harmonized 1t is ex-
pected by the new system to reduce errors
Of construction to minimum and to avoid
possibilities OF t"pheaviness and instability
IN our naval vessels Secretary Herbert has
given careful consideration to the subject
When MI. Chandler was Secretary of the
Navy ne recommended that there should be
consolidation of the bureaus of engineer
ing and construction. all under one head. be-
Cause II frequently happened that there
were things done by the bureau of engineer
Ing that would disagree with things done
by the bureau of construction.
There were frequent disputes about space
eTd fittings, AMI 50 it was with ordnance
Guns We're sometimes built that did not tit
the ship Mr. w i,ney saw the same thing
and recommended the reorganization of the
whole department. One Of his schemes was
TO have all purchasing for the navy done by
one bureau. and the system Of accounts kept
In that bureau for the whole navy Another
or Eis recOmms md atoms was that ordnance
and construction and engineering should be
c. PsOlidated under one head who should be
responsible for the vessel complete That
bill he recommended to Congress, and Sec
rotary Herbert. as chairman. sought to pass
it. IL was reported by n sjority Of the
Committee. II could not be passed Tor the
reason that a portion of the republicans fill
clustered against il. In those days there
was no way 10 prevent filibusterIns and al
though a majority of the House. and proba-
bly, OF the whole Congress. was in favor OF
IT, II did lot pass. Secretary Tracy, under
the power vested in the Secretary of the
Navy to distribute the duties among the
several bureaus. took steps to consolidate
all accounts and purchasing under one bu-
Teau, with the paymaster general in charge
He thus carried out. by general order the
lame principles that had been recommended
by Secretary Whitney. Congress In the ap-
preparation bills amended the law so as 20
further the efforts Of Secretary Tracy, and
what was formerly called the bureau of
provisions and clothing was changed TO
that OF supplies and accounts. Congress
passed two or three separate provisions as
recommended by the department to COM
plete that consolidation.
Since being IN office Secretary Herbert
has taken every step to carry the consoIi-
dation further. and II Is now said to be
IN admirable working order. II has prob
eoly come to stay as a great reform. Sec
fetary Herbert has also given a great deal
