SAVED IN NAVY
Secretary's Estimates Show
a Material Decrease and
May Reach s8,135,827

Washington, Dec. 6.-The estimates
of Secretary of the Navy Meyer for
the fiscal year 1912. which show a
saving Of S5.000,0O0, provide for an
expenditure of $8,135,S27 for public
works at the navy yards and stations.
These are for items regarded as es-
sential and are based upon person.
al inspection of the navy yards and
stations.
Some of the estimates for public
works are as follows:
New York navy yard. $1,469,000;
Pearl Harbor, Hawaiian Islands.
naval station, $2.2S7 900: Boston navy
yard, $277,O00; marine barracks, Bos-
ton. $148,00O; Norfolk navy yard,
$347. 500; Olongape, Philippines, naval
station, $300,000; Philadelphia navy
yard, $227,000; marine barracks,
$29O,O00; Portsmouth, N. H., navy
yard. $l29,00O; Puget Sound navy
yard, $9S9,000; Washington, ID. c.,
navy yard, $134,500.
The secretary says that to construct
the collier which congress directed
shall be built at q government navy
yard on the Pacific coast, it will be
necessary for congress to increase the
limit of cost from $1,OO0,O0O to ST.
100000. Of which ,$531 900 should be
appropriated for next year.
The secretary asks, for $7.630.00O
for provisions forff,se navy.
As the first years appropriation for
the new vessels the secretary names
$6.090,000 as necessary for construc-
tion and machinery and $6,750,42S for
armor and armament, which is $3.-
494,194 less than the amount appro-
priated for the new building program
this year. In addition he recommends
$10,453,619 for the continuation OF
work on vessels now under construc-
ton, which is $6,9S2, ,105 less than the
amount appropriated for a similar
purpose this year.
While increases have been made in
the estimates for the pay of the navy
and marine corps and under the head
of ordinance and other war equip
ment, the decreases exacted in other
directions, especially in the construc-
tion of ships, bring the total down
sufficiently to effect a saving of $5,-
0OG, 600.
The total amount which will be
submitted to congress for the navy
department under the naval, legisla-
tive and sundry civil bills for next
year will be $127,O67,329 as compared
with $132,37S,9S0 for this year or a
decrease in exact figures of $5,311,-
