New System of Buying Naval Stores
Proves Decided Economy.

Washington, Sept. 20.-A consolida-

fund.-. a new idea in naval administra-
ton, and put into operation several
months ago on the battleships Con-

cruisers West Virginia and Colorado,
has proved money saver.
Money allotments were provided for
each ships department and in order
that methods of economy might be en-
couraged a comparison of the cost OF
maintenance under the prevailing sys-
TEN on vessels of the same type was
directed to be made The result shows
that the ships average percentage
saved on the seven ships on which the
system was tried, was AZ and the esti
mate is made that if the plans were
instituted throughout the navy there
would be a saving of something like
$750.000 in a year on a basis of eX-
pendture during the time the system
has been in vogue on the vessels
named.
