NORFOLK, VA, September 26-The
number of men employed in the navy
yard here has been steadily Increased
from day to day ever since the rush of
work at the yard began to come in. There
are now employed as many or rather
slightly more skilled employees than were
at work fitting out the coast defense fleet
for the Spanish-Amercan war
The pay roll for these men, exclusive OF
the officers and men of the naval estab-
llshment on duty here. shows that for the
first half of the month of September, the
sum of $4,000 in round numbers, was
dlsbursed to $500 skilled mechanics and
clerks.
This is in addition to tho tremendous
sums paid for officers salaries. the pay
and subsistence of the men on the re-
ceiving ships and the other ships ar
the yards, and for the purchases of sup
plies and material for the yard. The pay
and subsistence charges of the Marine
Guard on duty at the barracks here. is
also excluded from this statement, which
represents the wages actually earned ~
the men employed.
The average of Shall required In the yard
Is high, and the work turned out bears
ample testimony to this fact.
The cruiser Galveston will require many
skilled men from all departments Of the
yard to work on here in order to COM
plete her as rapidly as the government
desires. and the great army dredge, BEN
ward, will be almost as great 1on tor
the ward as the Galveston

paired, and 1t Is now estimated that the
cost of her grounding off Portland harbof
