REAR ADMIRAL SINGER SUGGESTS
GRANTING OF SPECIAL

Rear Admiral Frederick Singer. L.
). ", called upon Gov. Hall Monday.
and after a discussion of the advisa.
Dlllty of granting to the navy a land
ing place on the New Orleans side of
the Mississippi river at the head of
Esplanade avenue and opposite the
Algiers Naval Station, a concurrent
resolution for the grant was drawn for
introduction in the Legislature.
The resolution authorizes the Dock
Board to grant the navy 1870 feet front
age by depth of forty feet for its use
as long as the Algiers station shall
continue to be operated. The Navy
Department wanted the landing deed
ed to it in fee simple, but this was re.
FUSED and it was insisted that if the
navy discontinued the use of the land
for the purpose for which it was grant
ed, it should revert to the Dock Board.
The terms of the resolution were tele-
graphed to Secretary of the Navy
Daniels at Washington.
The grant of the land in question

heSltancy of the Department in the
development of the station has to
large extent been based. Secretary
Daniels has insisted that a foothold on

reservations of Admiral Singer. the
Department has been ready since Oc-
tober to reopen the station had this
been granted.

IMMEDIATE REPAIR OF DRY DOCK
is ORDERED BY U. S.
ENGINEER

Preparations for an early reOpening
of the New Orleans naval station are
now in progress. Orders have been
given by the bureau of yards and docks
of the navy department for the eX-
penditure of $4,000 Of the $233,00o
which was recently re-appropriated for
the rehabilitation of the Algiers sta
ton. and r. II. Brownell a civil engi-
neer of the navy stationed at Pensa-
cola, is here 10 supervise the eNpendi-
ture 1t is generally believed at the
station that commandment will be as
signed to duty there shortly.
Mr. Brownen stated Tuesday morn
ing that the department had ordered
the immediate repair of the decking
OF the steel floating dry dock at cost
of $1,000, and an examination Of the
buildings and coaling station. The
various buildings Of the station will be
oy erhauled and whatever repairs nee
essary will be made These repairs
are limited for the present to 100000.
In addition to the renovation of the
buildings the coaling station will be
reported upon.
Il can not say whether the S., 1000
appropriation Will terminate the eX-
penditure at this time or not said
Mr. Brownell All | know is that the
bureau of yards and docks has ordered
me here to look after the repairs to
the dry dock and the buildings What
else is contemplated or when the sta
ton will reopen is merely a matter of
conjecture. as far as | know. There
is yet $4,000 to be expended of the
$2&3,OOO which was reappropriated for
the naval station. How soon that will
be available. the department will have
to say. / do not know.
Il have been working here several
days making plans and in a few days
We will ask for bids for the replace
ment of the wooden decking to the dry
dock. My inspection shows that the
decking has rotted, but that the dry
dock itself is in good condition. All
it needs is repainting. have not com
pleted my inspection of the buildings
and can not say what ! shall report
on them. Later | will inspect the
coaling plant"
\. Burke, custodian of the station,
said he had received orders to nil up
the bunkers of the coaling plant and
that the collier Brutus had come here
for that purpose. She is discharging
1000 tons, which with the 1000 tons
already in stock will complete the
bunkers' capacity.
Mr.. Burke said there was a feeling
that the station would be reopened
soon, but he said he knew nothing Of
ticially. 1t was reported that a rear
admiral would be assigned here to
command the station. All he knew
was that the Brutus had arrived Sun
day morning and he had been ordered
TO take 1000 tons of coal.
Mr.. Brownell is at the St. Charles
hotel and will be here some weeks.
