Planned in 1859.

The general public may be sur
prised 70 learn that as far back as
1859 the government contemplated
dock and breakwater wall AT
the Pensacola navy yard. The dock
was to cost more than million and
a half dollars. and the breakwater
wall was to cost more than two
million dollars.
"Forty-eight years have elapsed,
and the navy yard has neither the
craving dock, nor the breakwater
wall. And yet the United States gov
eminent is now rich beyond cOmputa-
ton. and the people of the United
States number nearly one hundred
millions.
What is the matter? Why have
these improvements never been car
ried out as contemplated half cen

to completion years ago, it is safe
to say that Pensacola would be a
larger and a richer city than 1t Is

Plenty of Work.

IN InlS morning journal, SAID
Congressman Lamar, Il find this local
item: About sixty men are out of
positions as a result of the reduction
in the forces at the Pensacola navy
yard. Those let out are machinists.
boiler makers, mOulders, carpenters,
labOrers, helpers, etc. In fact there
was a reduction in many of the
various departments. The reduction
in the force is due to the completion
of some of the work, which has been
in progress at the yard for several
months. Extra appropriations were
allowed to repair vessels damaged
by the hurricane of September, and
these appropriations which called for
extra. help, have become exhausted,
resulting in the reduction of the
forces to the normal number.
Il would like to see fifteen hundred
TO two thousand men at permanent
work, at good wages, at the navy
yard.
This can be the case if the plans
l now propose, can be successfully
carried out. ------s------z--,--- =asse-
