GREATER BROOKLYN NAVY YARD.-The au-
tnorities at the navy yard at Brooklyn are mucn
exercised. according TO the reports which nave
reached the Navy Department concerning the diri-
cuties besetting those in charge of the big naVaI
plant in obtaining more land greatly needed, 1or
extensions and improvements The department has
been reminded that the Brooklyn Union Gas Com
pany is occupying valuable territory west OF ano
Including Little street and north of Commerciai
street Formerly this company paid an annual
rental for the land. but in recent years the gov
eminent has received nothing from the concern
and the navy yard officials say the company has
been able TO resist all the demands made upon IT.
II IS probable that action will be taken by
the Washington authorities in the matter. especially
in view Of the information which now comes from
Brooklyn of the plan of the city TO place dump
ing wharf az the foot OF Little street and further
interfere with the Of the water front the Nalue
Of which increases yearly with the greater demands
which are being made upon the navy ward 1t is
foreseen that unless something is shortly done TO
protect the tract OF land which offers the oppor-
tunity for navy yard expansion the limit OF the
establishment has been reached With the recon-
rnendations which have been made in the last year
for the enlargement Of the plant, the Navy De-
psrtment realizes that the situation should be ex-
planned TO Congress the next session in order TO
proyide against anything which will injure the
Brooklyn yard.
