Specifications for the barracks and
quarters for the commanding officer
and other officers at the Pearl Harbor
naval station have been received from
Washington. They show that all the
buildings are to be of re-enforeed con.
crete. The architects plans eontem.
plate structures of handsome appear.
anee and quarters supplied with every
comfort and convenience. The specif.
cations are ready at the Office Of Cap.
tain Mark, for contractors, and con

The bids being called for at once are
for residence for the commander, three
sets of officers quarters, one barracks
building large enough for over 600
men, and three sets of servants quar-.
ters. The appropriations are $4,000
for the barracks and $4,000 for the
quarters. 1t is expected that within
q few years there viii be more bar.
racks and more officers quarters, but
the present plans contemplate going
ahead with only one of the large build
ings for men.
The barracks win be building 260
feet in length, with a lanai along its
entire front. The left and right wings
will be 9S l-2 feet deep. All the struc-
ture will be concrete, insuring both
stability and GOODNESS,
On the ground floor in the left wing
are to be the offices of the commander,
officer of the day, adiutant, quarter.
master sergeant, clerks offices, board
room, etc, while tho center OF the
ground floor will be large mess room,
capable of seating 1852 men at n time.
The serving room and kitchen are be-
hind. They are to be fitted with the
most modern kitchen appointments
known to the best hotels. The right
wing will contain guard room, cells, etc.
Upstairs two dormitories, one at each
end, viii provide room for sixty eight
men each, and the larger dormitory in
the center win have beds for eighty
six. The general wash room has provi.
sion for thirtysix washbowls and there
are twelve shower baths in the plans,
besides the tubs Sixteen rooms for
noncommissioned officers are also on
this floor.
The third floor will contain the same
number of beds as the second. In add.
ton it will have the "sicls bay"
surgeons room, operating room, dis.
n9nsary, hospital steward IS room, etc.
In the eight-foot basement there will
be a bowling alley, shooting gallery,
quartermasters storerooms, carpenter
shop. printshop.
The complete plans for laying out
the station provide for three of these
big buildings, and it is thought that
a few years viii see at least three OF
them on the reservation. They will
face on a parade ground three-ffths OF
a mile long by onethird of n mile wide
The commanding officers quarters
and the other three officers quarters
buildings are to be two-story structures
Like the barracks, they are of attrac,
tive design and will be re-enforced con.
crete. They have large living rooms
and dining rooms, on the lower floor
The bedrooms in the officers quarters
average 14xl6 feet in size. The build
ings are TO be thoroughly up to date
in kitchen arrangements, baths, etc

teets they appear well suited to
this climate, and should make attrac
tive homes for those who are to serve
at the new naval station. The size OF
the lot for each house is 140x175. The
servants quarters are also of very su
perior design, and will be concrete.

marine barracks, naval station. Bid

tracts will be awarded Immediately af

called to the fact that the work mus
be done under the provisions of tn
federal eight-hour law. Nothing is sal
