A step in the direction Of another
floating dry dock has been taken by
the Naval Committee Of Congress.
Like the other recently built and
shipped to the Philippine Islands, if
built, will be large affair, and will
cost not less than $l,200,000. To
have snch another structure for ma
val purposes has been the dream Of
Congressman Mudd for several years,
and if the scheme materializes it will
be largely due to his efforts, The
vote in the committee was close at
first, standing 8 to Z, but on the final
come out it increased 10 to Z. The
bill that will be reported to Congress
does not go further than to recon-
mend the dry dock, and the possible
cost and the location of the same is
omitted This omission, Mr.. Mudd
explains, was intentional, as on the
first passage he wanted to avoid OBJ
jections. There is likely 10 be a con-
test as to where the structure should
be built and located, and to obviate
this was the thing to avoid at this
time To have Congress consent to
build the structure first and to deal
with the other questions later on was
Congressman Mudd's plan. With the
fact definitely understood that
another dry dock should be built, the
question of location would mainly be
left with the Secretary of the Navy,
and such places being difficult to find,
it would be almost an absolute GER
taintS that Soiomon's Island, in Cal
-&ert county, would be selected.
Ii, therefore, Congress passes the
naval bill as at present constituted, it
is not unlikely that Solomon's Island,
in Calvert county, will be selected as
the location for the same, and thus
Southern Maryland will have made
another stride toward being a section
of some importance other than the
.sFr-cs election frauds in the State of
E4daryland.
