RESIDENT TO. AID
COAST FORTS
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 28.-In his
forthcoming message, President Roose-
welt will make a strong recommended
tion for legislation providing for the
reorganization of the coast artillery
The Senate committee on military af-
fairs has favorably reported a bill to
separate the field artillery from the
coast artillery on the ground that they
are two distinct branches of the SER
vice.
A statement of the condition of the
coast defenses of twenty-eight forti-
fed ports shows that to man them
with one shift of officers and men, that
is to say, each man at his proper sta
ton, would require 40.675 men and
1854 officers.
: There are today available at differ
ent forts 1918 men and 357 officers,
scarcely enough to keep the guns and
machinery from rusting. On San Fran
cisco bay there are Forts Foster
Miley, Barry, Baker, Mason, Winfield
Scott and Mcdowell, and to man these
would require It's officers and 1868
men. There are available AZ officers
and 400 men.
The coast defense plans call for an
expenditure of s3.119,242 to complete
the defenses of San Francisco, of which
$4S9,600 is to be spent for guns, en-
placements and carriages, $459,955 for
submarine mine defenses, $334,s52 for a
central power plant. s193,064 for re-
serve power plant. s19S,O00 for search
lights, $19,6S0 for undermining older
emplacements and s1,473,991 for fire
control
1t will cost s1,473,9s1 to install a
complete system of communication
alone at San Francisco, and it is a
significant fact that this fire control
installation will be the only one rec
commended to Congress this year, be :.
