Washington, Oct. 25-Admral Matthews. Chic: OF
the Bureau OF Yards and Docks. in his annual re-
port to Secretary Long. recommends tho construc-
ton o. drydocks OF the best typo. He urges
that concrete docks be built at Boston. Norfolk

Admiral Matthews says the NewYork stone dock
was laid with hydraulic cement In the Joints on
STONE rubbls and the Joints leaked and tho cement
went TO pieces. The Mare Island stone dock, built
OF concrete and faced with stone. has given no
trouble. The experience Of the Bureau with wooden
docks has not been such as 10 lead Il to recommend
the construction OF any more.
