NEW YORK'S DRYDOCK FACILr.
TIES INADEQUATE.-Th board q,
naval officers, consisting of Rear Admiral
j. r. Edwards. Captain II. p. Norton ana
Captain g. r. Evans, which recently IN
spected navy yards at Portsmouth, Boston
and New York, has called attention to thu
fact that the New York Navy Yard drv.
docking facilities are inadequate and can.
not handle the largest battleships..
When the board was inspecting the New
York yard the battleship Arkansas had
occupied the dock for nearly thres
months There was only one dock capabs
of receiving a ship Of this size. and conss.
quently the entire docking schedule Of ths
yard for the larger battleships had to be
abandoned while the Arkansas was under.
going repairs to a damaged hull.
The board recommends that one OF tia
other docks be enlarged in width and
length sufficiently TO accommodate the
largest battleships building. Dock No. Sis
believed TO be the best adapted for such
extension. and it is suggested that PROV.
sion be made for taking In the longest
ocean liners. Dock No. is in need OF
other repairs, but the proposed extension
is considered one Of the urgent military
and industrials demands OF the yard. This
extension would necessitate moving the
inshore end OF the dock few degrees
toward the marine barracks. so as 10 keep
the dock within the limits OF the station.
The depth over the sill should be In.
creased to thirty-hve feet, in view Of the
probable deepening Of the channel in the
East River.

Governor SulZcr Is busy-tremendously
busy. I'm fact. he is overwhelmed with
cares and duties that are OF momentous
interest to the people OF the Empire state.
Governor SulZcr Is chasing the Tiger 5
tail. ! am sorry to see that some of our
friends whose ideas are embodied in car
toons are disposed TO make joke of this
very serious matter, and | bespeak for
our Governor more consideration.
As further evidence of his engross-
ing occupation We might mention that
of The Bronx wrote "A letter calling the
attention of the Governor to certain mat
ters which they thought merited his at
tention. Receiving no reply, Il second let
ter was written. but without response. NJ
first we were surprised. but then found
that we had acted very unwisely and
foolishly in attempting to divert the at
tention of a man engaged IN such i'm
portant pursuits.
I have suggestion to make. \ man
who IS so worthy of consideration and
who shows such evidences OF WEAKNESS

abroad To the quiet shores of the Medlter-

the Mayors past record in his face just at the
nresent crucial moment. Here he is graphing in Il
terrific death struggle with the Demon Tea. The
Issue trembles in the balance. And we are told
that he has not suppressed graft in the Police
