The pensacola Craving Dock.
The following communication from
Senator Mallory was read:
Washington, d. c., April 9th. 1906.
W. c. Jones, Secretary of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, Pensacola, Fla.
Dear Sir-I beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt Of yeur letter of the 9Th. in
Btant, inclosfng copy of resolutions
OF the Chamber Of Commerce reIa-
tive to the construction Of a Grav-
ing Dock at the Pensacola Navy
Yand, and requesting Senator's and
in Congress from.
Florida to urge the Hon. Geo. r.
FOss, and the members of the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs OF the House
Of Representatives to provide an ap-
Of 100000 for the pur-
pose of commencing work on the
Craving Dock.
1t is scarcely necessary for me to
say that l will be glad to do any
thing in my power to induce Con-
gress to make the necessary appro-
rriatiOn for the purpose of beginning
work on a Craving Dock at the Pen
5acOla Navy Yard. In this cOnnec-
ion it may be pertinent for me to
say that some two years ago Of my
Jwn move, l got a resolution through
he Senate asking the Secretary OF
he Navy whether or not a Craving
Dock on the Gulf Of Mexico was de-
iirab1e. and If so, what port was best
'uited for such a dock and the De
.artment in response to that inquiry
stated that a dock WAS desirable,
nd THAT PENSACOLA WAS THE
PLACE FOR IT. This was the Opin-
on of the Chief Of the Bureau Of
Yards and Docks Admiral EndicOtt.
The then Secretary of the Navy,
Mr.. Moody. cOncUrred in Admiral
IndicOtt's views. but expressed the
,piniOn that thers were so many
,ther projects Of more Immediate
necessity that he would not recon-
mend the appropriation at that time.
,ince then ths Secretary Of ths
Javv. Mr.. BOnapaTte. has recon-
rended the construction Of such a
ock. I do not think the House
Committee will put Il in the Naval
.propriatiOn Bill. and II they do not,
will do the best / can TO get the
senate Committee on Naval Affairs,
+ which I am now a member, TO
mt it in as an amendment when the
ill comes TO the Sonata Il was
nth this view that I got myself
ransferred from the Committee on
he District Of Columbia to the Com
1ittee on Naval Affairs OF the Sen
fe and in view Of my immediate
onnection with the project. Il Is
carcely Necessary for me to say that
am not likely TO lose my interest
D It or to become fOrgetful Of II.
Nv health has given me a great
cal Of trouble recently. Ny physi-
ian advises me - leave Washington
nj take a complete rest for a month
r more. and it is probable that I
lay co so.
I am happy to say that at this
rrfting I am feeling better.
Very truly. etc.
