TO IMPROVE THE NAVAL ACADEMY
SECRETARY HERBERT SAID TO BE IN FAVOR OF
A COMPLETE REHABILITATION OF THE
ANNAPOLIS INSTITUTION


Annapolis Nd Dec. 30.-It is reported here that
Secretary Herbert. Of the Navy. will forward to
Congress this week early In January a report
submitted by Commodore Matthews. president Of
the board designated to investigate and determine
upon a plan for a complete rehabilitation Of the
Naval Academy. This board was authorized by the
last Congress. and during the summer months was
at work, In accordance with the Secretary's In
structlons. MIR. Herbert, in transmitting the re-
port will make suggestions pertinent TO the
Academy's condition, which, he will show. has
reached stage where, for the reputation Of the
service a change Is Immediately necessary.
The report will state that the Academy has
grown itself. and the arrangements and construc-
ton Of the present buildings are a patchwork
order regardless OF convenience efficiency OF
work. and are unhealthy and obsolete. The report
is accompanied by drawings of leading architect.
which provide for magnificent buildings. quarters
for officers new drives and walks, monuments and
adornments which would make the Academy a
decidedly attractive place. The plan is extensive.
and the project If carried out will cost the Gov.
eminent at least s6.000,9o
Mr.. Herbert will that the entire project be
approved by Congress and that this session appro-
pirate 500 000 with which beg the work.
He believes that. with moderate sum provided
each year. the Academy can be transferred into a
modern institution within few years.
