POWER PLANT Project
NOT TO Be ABANDONED
Every Intention to Proceed With
Erection of Central Building,
Says Treasury Official.

There is no thought on the part Of
the Treasury Department to abandon
the project of building the central
heating and power plant" said Assist
ant Secretary Byron r. Newton of the
Treasury Department. today. There
is every intention to proceed with con-
struction as authorized by Congress.
This was in denial of the report that
the government had decided to aban-
don the project, and would accept a
proposition of the Potomac Electric
Power Company.
There is reason to believe that the
bids on the power plant as recently
made in the offer to do separate parts
of the work involved are within the
appropriation. The several bids on
the entire contract were considerably
above the amount voted by Congress. i.
Treasury Department officials. it is
known, have held several conferences
with officials Of the Potomac Electric
tion of that corporation to supply the
power and heat provided for in the au-
thorization of Congress for the CEN
trail heating and power plant. This is
year ago, Iapsing when Congress Iegis-
lated for the projected plant.
Revival of Proposal.
The failure of the inclusive bids to
come within the appropriation, it is
presumed, has revived the proposal
There is no doubt that it has been ac-
lively before the. Treasury Department
and given consideration.
William F. Ham, vice president of the
corporation, has made public that
negotiations have been opened between
the corporation and the government
reviving the former proposals.
When bids were opened last month
for the construction work on the plant
it was found that the lowest compre-
hensive bid made by the w. G. Cornell
Company of Washington was $685.
500, or well over the appropriation of
$1,494,104. The bids on separate Sec
tions of the work have since been ana
lyzed. 1t is believed that the contract
can be let in parcels SO that the gross
cost will be within the appropriation.
It is possible that, to effect this, some
units of the specifications may have to
be omitted.

US. COAST DEFENSE
SHORT 1858 MEN
Although Most Formidable in
World in Point Of
MaterieI.

While the coast defense system of the
United States is the most formidable in
the world In materiel, in personnel 1t
Is short 10.SO2 men and $50 officers OF
the number required to permit the
regular establishment to man all the
defenses of the insular possessions and
all mines and one-half the guns and
mortars in continental United States,
the remaining guns to be manned by
the militia.
That assertion is made by Brig. Gen.
Weaver. chief Of coast artillery. in his
annual report. In addition to the In
adequacy of the regular force, he adds,
the militia in 1915 had provided only
440 officers and 7,43S men as against
the Ill officers and 1929 men neces-
sary to man it's share Of the coast de-
fenses. The result is, he estimates, that
guns and mortars which it cost the
government s41.O00.000 to install have
to put them in service In time of need.
Additional Cost, $5,75o,ooo.
If Congress fills the vacancies in the
regular corps, the report says, it will
involve an annual increased outlay on
the Coast Artillery Corps of $5,750,O0O.
Gen. Weaver urges that this be done
promptly, citing the recent events in
the Dardanelles to show that the value
of shore line Notifications has been
confirmed in a remarkable way by the
European war.
The report discloses that the depart
ment has approved plans to equip all

can be used to aid the mobile forces in
protecting the position from land at
tack, aeroplane scouts and spoilers,
making it possible for them to shell
bodies of troops by indirect fire and
at ranges of ten to fifteen miles or
more.
Gen. Weaver says the proposed mobile
batteries for seacoast use should be
probably even larger than seventeen
inch howitzers. and recommends that
a fifty-caliber sixteen-inch rifle be made
the standard for major forts.
