CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.
Friday, April 27.

Washington.-ln a special message
TO congress. President Roosevelt urges
the immediate appropriation OF $780,
600 for work at the Mare Island navy
ward at San Francisco, in order that
employment may be provided for
many in the stricken city. He also
urges the necessity for the appropria-
ton of money for the re-estaDlish'
ment of an army supply station in san
Francisco The message follows
ITO the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatiyes:
81 herewith enclose communication
from the Navy department and the
War department in reference to com.
munications from Mayor Schmitz OF
San Francisco and from other repre-
sentatiyes of California. With cour'
age and self-reliance of which we can
not. as Americans. be sufficiently
proud, the people of San Francisco
have already started in orderly and
resolute fashion to rebuild the city.
Immediate aid in this enterprise
should be given by the federal govern
ment. One of the crying needs OF the
situation is employment for the scores
of thousands of men who have lost
everything. If the appropriation OF
100000 for the Mare Island navy yard
be at once passed, over 1000 men will
be Immediately put to work, for this
appropriation will be expended only
in employing labor. The appropria'
ton is urgently needed as means OF
contribution toward the re-establish'
ment of affairs in San Francisco; 1t
will also be of material use to the
navy.
Furthermore, recommend that
the congress act on the recommends
lions of the War department and ap-
propriate the money necessary TO es'
tablish building as a general supply
and storage depot for the supply de-
partment of the army and the trans
mort service, on a part of the military
reservation at Ft. Mason. This pro
iect is set forth in Senate bill 4475 OF
the present session.
81 have requested the Treasury and
Postoflce departments to prepare
their estimates for replacing or re-
pairing the other government build
ings in San Francisco. These esti'
mates will be ready in short time,
and will then be laid before you.
