William Stone Albert, for the recovery of
$104, 1O4.06, which ne claims is the balance
due him for services rendered in connec-
ton with the new Naval Academy build
ings at Annapolis. Md.
1t is alleged by Mr.. Flagg that he was
employed by the government to prepare
plans for all the new buildings and i'm
provements at the Naval Academy, and
that he prepared all the plans, estimates,
&C., which were required of him, and
that the work was completed in July, 1909
AS Congress, according to the declara-
ton Of Mr.. Flagg, provided for an in
crease In the number of midshipmen from
