ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL CONTRIBUTES
UNFAILINGLY To THE PROSPERITY OF
CITY AND COMMUNITY IN GENERAL

to the government, including the cost
OF realty, buildings, water power, ma
chinery, etc, from its establishment
until the present time is $11,702,-
O53.24.
OFFICERS ARE TRAINED.
AS is well known, the arsenal is IN
der the control of the ordnance de-
partment Of the United States army.
1t is commanded by an officer Of that
department detailed for the duty by
the secretary of war. The command
ing officer is assisted by a staff Of
officers Of the ordnance department
who are stationed at the arsenal for
that purpose. The manufacturing
work in the shops is in charge and IN
der the control Of these officers, who
are specially educated for such duty.
/ The work itself is carried on by civil
ian employees of whom there are now
LOO on the arsenal rolls. The shop
force has the usual organization of all
/ industrial establishments, with fore
men and master workmen, engineers,
electricians, etc. The orders for man,
ufacture are received from the war
department in Washington and the
material is manufactured and placed
. in store to be issued from time to
time under prescribed rules and reg
ulations, or under orders from Wash
ington, TO the army at large.
VARIETY NOTABLE FEATURE.
1t is pertinent here to say that the
Rock Island arsenal manufactures the
musket carried by the soldier, hi!

utilized in driving machinery, m
lighting buildings and grounds, and
in heating some of the buildings. The
great advantage enjoyed by the Rock
Island arsenal in its adequate supply
of cheap power cannot be overesti-
mated.
INDEBTED FOR BRIDGE.
The three cities are indebted to-
the government and incidentally to
the arsenal for the three magnificent
bridges leading from the Illinois and
Iowa shores to the island. The COM
handing officer of the arsenal is
charged with the management and the
care and preservation of these
bridges, and the public is permitted
to use them free of any direct ex-
pense for toll or indirect expense in
the way of local taxes. The advan-
tages accruing from this condition
may be gathered when it is stated that
the bridges from Rock Island to Dav-
| export, maintained entirely by the
government, are by far the most sub
stantial and imposing structures on
| the river north of st. Louis, all other
! bridges having been built and main
/ tanned by local or commercial organ
| iZations.
| The island, with its thousand acres
of ground and approximately Il miles
of roads, constitutes a large part
/ accessible to the residents of the sur
} rounding cities. Permission to use
! the drives of the arsenal is freely
granted on application to the com
handing officer and many residents of
the three cities take full advantage
of the privilege.
FUTURE SEEMS ASSURED.
The future of the arsenal seems as
( sured. The requirements of the ma
tional government and of the national
guard of the states for material and
equipment of the kind produced here
are increasing rather than decreas-
ing With our increasing population
and increasing participation in world
politics the necessity for police force
in the form of an army and navy of
reasonable proportions, and of a large
reserve of citizen soldiery, becomes
more and more evident Adequate
provision for this force will call for
more and more Of the equipment pro
duced by the arsenal, and consequent
ly means continued activity for it.
The arsenal has established an en-.
!. yiable record for economical produc.
. ton. Numerous instances could be
: given where. in competition with c ee::z2:
merciai firms, it has produced better
: material at less cost to the govern
ment. This fact alone should ulti

personal equipment such as his cart
ridge belt, cartridge box, haversack,
canteen, meat can, cup, knife, fork
and spoon, the horse equipments, in
Guiding saddles, brides and halters,
the harness for the artillery horses,
the pack saddles and other equip
ments for the mountain artillery pack
trains, and gun carriages, caissons and
limbers which constitute the ammuni-
ton wagons, and the repair and store
wagons for the artillery, the targets
for target practice, and multitude
of miscellaneous articles for the use
of the army of the United States. the

mately lead to- an expansion of the
arsenal work The manufacture of
vehicles and other material for field
artillery is one of its principal pro-
auctions, but the capacity of the plant
is such that it is able to produce only
one-third of the quantity annually pro-
cured, the other two-thirds being OBJ
tanned from contractors.
SAVE MONEY HERE.
1t has been abundantly demonstrate
ed in the last few years that this ar
senal can turn out such material at
a much less cost than it can be OBJ.
tanned from private makers. In fact
the chief of ordnance at a hearing
before a congressional committee last
winter stated that if the committee
would give him S250,000 to provide
additional plant for the manufacture
of field artillery material at this ar
senal, he would show a saving to the
government of over one million dol
lars in the material to be procured
for the government in the next few
years, and this saving would be due
to manufacturing it at Rock Island
arsenal rather than buying it from
private contractors. With an efficien
cy which backs up such claims al
this one there can be no doubt that
as long as the government require!
material of the class manufactured
! here, Rock Island arsenal will con
tinue to grow and to merit the sup
port of the government
