Almost q Billion Dollars Neede to
Carry I'm Government
A statement has been issued by the
appropriations committees of the Senate
and House summarizing the estimates
for appropriations to be made at tbs
present session of Congress for the fiscal
year 1907. The total for all purposes az
gregates SS04.296.415.
These estimates are greater than tho
appropriations for the current year By
$19.170,1 55.
The War Department asks SS63,46e
less than was appropriated last yeay
and the riser and harbors item. which
last year amounted to 1S.1S1.S 1915, II
omitted entirely this year. With thesr
exceptions every department of the gov
eminent has asked for moro money than
the current appropriation.
The two largest increases are asked
by the navy, SCI 9.O3S. and the Post
Office Department, $12.1S7. 976.
The estimates of the appropriations
committees exceed those of Secretary
Shaw by nearly $500, 100000. which is
accounted for by the fact that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury estimates for the
Postofice Department only that sum
which will nave to come from the treas
ury for it's maintenance, not including
postal revenues applied to the support
of that department. His estimate for
the Postofice Department is $7.626.0OO,
while that of the appropriations commit
tees Is $193.210.070.

Expense Mt $9,995,197.
Three new dry docks practically COM
pleted, a number of new buildings con-
structed. extensions of the railroads in
the yards and Of the sewer systems,
lighting system and pavement and other
miscellaneous improvements are features
Of the work accomplished during the
past year under the bureau of yards and
docks, as recorded IN the annual report
of the chief of that bureau, Rear Ad-
miral Endicott.
For the next fiscal year the estimates
of this bureau aggregate $685. 97. OF
this amount almost $9,OOO.0OO is recon-
mended for improvement of PUBLIC works.
Regarding this item Admiral Endicott
says: The estimates for central heat,
light and power plants at various yards
are necessary for the execution OF the
expressed will of Congress and the in
structions of the department touching
the consolidation of power plants. Adj
ditional docking facilities are most ur-
gently needed and estimates are submit
ted for beginning docks at Boston, Pen
sacola and Puget sound and for q steel
floating dock for home waters"
1t is pointed out that it takes a con-
siderable time to construct a dry dock
of large capacity and that by the time
these docks now asked for could be com
pleted the vessels of the nav will have
increased in number very materially and
the demand for docks will be CORE
spondingly greater than at present.
