Ordnance worth Less Than junk.

The bureau of ordnance has taken steps
to relieve the coast forts of the country
from the large accumulation of obsolete ord
nance that has been piling up ever since the
change in ordnance construction from cast
iron to steel guns. 1t is worth less as junk
than the cost of removing IL and breaking
1t up. The Secretary has been asked for
authority to condemn and sell IL, and if no
bids are made the great guns and carriages
will have to be destroyed at government
expense. There are also large quantities
of obsolete ordnance stores, which il is
hoped, to dispose of at the same time
