OH THOSE SMELLS!
At NAVY DAIRY FARM
What the Cost Of Removal Means
TO the Government.
SOMEBODY BLUNDERED.
When Naval Academy Located Cow
barns Under Nose Of the Naval
Hospital.
Communicated.

Editor Captain a recent issue of
your paper we notice that an appro-
priation of sl00, 900 is soon to be
asked from Washington to remove the
new COW barns to the farms across the
river, where they should have been
placed in the first place.
II is certainly the proper time nc W
for our Congressman from this dis
trict to ask few pertinent questions
as to who is responsible for this
stupid blunder. The buildings are
hardly settled on their foundations
before it begins to dawn on some of
the wise heads of the navy yard that
an odor is detected at the hospital.
probably quarter of mile away, and
that they ought to be removed.
This identical situation was dis
cussed by the common herd of people
outside of the yard, - and wonder
was expressed at the sele ction of the
location. Not so much on account of
the hospital as the distance OF the
stock from the base of supplies The
whole scheme is impracticable from
start to finish, as they new confess
by asking tor permission to move.
We have heard it remarked time and
again by the ordinary "clod-hoppe r.
farmer that the plant would be re-
moved to the farm inside Of three
years, and there you are.
With three large cement silos (which
by the way, cannot be moved, but will
have to be blown up) to be filed from
the products of the farm two miles
down the river, what ordinary busi-
ness man would have entertained such
a proposition an instant. The filing
for these silos consists Of green corn
cut down from the fields and as now
located has to be loaded on to barges
and drawn two miles up stream
weighing hundred of tons, and again
unloaded and then put away. A very
expensive scheme, and one that no
sensible man would consider that did
not have the government behind
him.
And then again the cattle have no
range and never can have where now
located. t. be sure they have the
lawn of the old Naval Hospital, which
was the prettiest site of all, but
which was permitted to rot down
through some political chicanery.
Every taxpayer has to help pay for
these foolish mistakes. and every
taxpayer has right to protest and
demand that someone who is in au-
thority and responsible be brought to
an accounting. Secretary Wilson'S
attention ought to be called to this
miserable business. 1t looks as
though he had left its carrying out to
some Admiral, who wouldn't recognize
a cow if he met one promenadiDg the
poop-deck.
Under the old regime mix cost the
government 80 cents per gallon; under
the new, all practical minds estimate
that it costs them nearer go ct nts, or
will by the time they pull down and
move about a few times, which is
characteristic and whas everybody
expects.

Application for the privilege of

franchise is acted upon by the Public
Service Commission, the company will
build a power station in Annapolis.
