fHit AT G0yrEn Yards.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, March 1st 1885.
Editor NORFOLK VIRGIN1AN:
Warning has been given that if
the commercial bodies and people of
Norfolk and Portsmouth did not
com blne and take some concert of
action looking to new work in this
yard We would be ignored. The press
ulspatehes yesterday afternoon show
that the Naval Appropriation bill
has been reported to the Senate and
the provision for the construction of
twelve torpedo boats stricken out.
Instead, six light draught composite
gunboats, OF about 1000 tons dis
placement, are to be built by, con
tract, and three torpedo boats, ut a
cost not to exceed Sl75,0 900 each,
one to be built on or near the coast
OF the Pacific ocean, one on the
mississippi river aud one on the
Gulf OF Mexico. Among the items
OF increase are: Port Royal, S. O.,
naval station, $4,000 dry dock at
Algiers, La, 500, 900; Key West,
Fla, naval station, $50, 600.
The bill from this House provided
that one of these torpedo boats
shall be built at thiayard. In view
OF the fact that this yard has been
equipped by the Government for
new work and has gathered hero an
efhclent organization of workmen
VINO must now seek employment
elsewhere, it does not seem that it
would have been, nor is it vet. a
hard matter to convince Congress
and the Senate of the necessity of
providing new work to maintain the
efficiency of its own yard.

pedo boat was bad enough, but to
be cut off entirely from new work

tors Daniel and Hunton will i'm
prove the situation. The efficiency
of this naval station should be main.

struction of dry dock of sufficient
size TO dock the vessels now build.
ing. The present dock will barely
take the Columbia and is not ample
ior the larger vessels now under
construction. Every possible lniiu.
ence should be brought to bear at
once to have at least one of the tor
pedo boats built hero and some ap-
preparation added to the bill for the
