WAY back last August, the city

Way back last August, the city
teamster deposited in front Of the
court house, eight loads of clay to be
used for the purpose of levelling up
the cutters. OF the eight loads, two
have been leveled off and put in order
while the six still remain where they
were dumped over three months ago.
Such careleSSneSs and Indifference on
the part of the street commissioner is
ineXcuSab BILE and shows a lax method
IN doing the city's business and we
presume that the street commissioner
will allow tfeSe remaining loads to
freeze up Ill their present condition
and remain there until spring. Such
indifference on the part of our city
authorities in the transaction OF bust

OUR NAVY.
Appropriation Of S77,65s, 386 for
Next Year Asked For.
Comparatively Few OF Our Ships
are Said to be of Real
Fighting Value.

Washington. April 2s.-The nava
/ programme for 1908. as presented i 1
the naval appropriation bill and &C
companying the report filed to-day b,
chairman FOss, of the House Nava
committee, is one of unusual interest.
1t is shown that the total lumber OF
vessels of our navy. built and building,
is 1873, and the total cost will be $685., :
| 0S2, Pug. The report adds:
While we have built and are build
ing all told 1873 ships, yet comparative
ly few of them have any real fighting
value. Our naval prowess lies almost
entirely In our eighteen Dattleships,
eight armored cruisers and twenty one
protected cruisers. The rest of our
ships would cut but little figure in
actual war. Ships of the battle line
practically alone determine the naval
strength of nation.
The detailed statement shows that
the appropriation bill carries ST. $50,
3o6. which is slightly below the appro-
priation adopted last year.
Concerning new ships for our navy,
the report says:
THE committee recommend that for
the purpose of further increasing the
naval establishment of the United
States, the President have constructed
two tirst-class battleships, carrying
the heaviest armor and most powerful
ordnance for vessels of their class,
upon trial displacement of about IS,
600 tons and to have the higehst prac-
ticable speed and great radius of
action, and to cost, exclusive of armor
and armament, not exceeding "a, 212, =

to cost, exclusive of armor |
and armament, not exceeding 81, $50, 600
