GREAT cOALING STATION
AT PUGET SOUND YARD

Navy Yard, Puget Sound, July 16.-
This yard will become the chief coal
ing station for the Pacific fleet il
present plans of the navy department
are carried out Under direction Of
the navy department the civil engi-
neer's force of the yard has begun a
preliminary survey for a 200,000-ton
coaling plant to be located at the west
end of the navy yard Immediately east
of the present yard coal bunkers.
Such plant, it is estimated, would
cost close to 100000. The present
coaling pier of the yard has capacity
of $4,000 tons under cover, with room
for $4,000 tons more on adjacent
ground. This plant was established at
cost of more than quarter of mil
lion dollars. In the contemplated
bunkers provisions are to be made for
the storing of a reserve supply of coal
submerged in salt water. Tests re-
Gently conducted by the navy depart
ment has proved that coal keeps bet
ter in that condition.
Huge submersible steel tanks to hold
the reserve supply Of coal for the Pa
cific fleet will probably be one of the
features Of the immense bunkers. The
pier will probably be constructed OF
steel with concrete piers.
The fact that the navy department
has authorized the survey indicates
that high officials of the navy favor
the project and that probably the next
congress will be asked to make an ap
preparation for the beginning of the
work on the institution.
