REBUKED FOR NEGLECT.
General burlington Complains of Ex-
pensive Repairs.


Gen. A. r. Burlington, Chief of the Bu-
reau of Ordnance, has issued a special
order calling the attention of the officers
Of several of the military departments to
the neglect of telescope sights, azimuth
instruments, and other1opti4al devices in
use by the artillery, principally at sea
coast Notifications. This matter was first
called to the attention Iof the department
by Captain Crozier in his report of his
Notifications. Since then General Buffiing-
ton has noticed that there was an excess
sive amount of repairing and after an in
vestigation he concluded that Captain
Crozier's statements that proper precau
tions were not taken was correct, and,
accordingly, sent the following letter to
the Adjutant General of the Army for
transmission to the commanding officers
of the different military departments:
Ii is deemed necessary by this Office 10 call
the attention Of the proper military authorities
to the fact that this department has found it
necessary TO provide for what seems TO be an
excessive amount OF repairing to telescope sights,
azimuth instruments, and other optical devices
in use by the artillery. principally at sea coast
Notifications. From the nature OF the injuries
reported and from the very large number of them
the conclusion seems justified that the precau-
tions and care demanded by these expensive and
delicate instruments have not always been eX-
ercised. 1t is therefore suggested that the atten
tion of the general officers and of the board on the
Regulations of Sea Coast Artillery Fire, be called
TO the matter in order that steps be taken to
provide as soon practicable instructions which
will tend to secure a much higher degree Of
and attention
