ON THE ANAC0S7|A FLATS

An experimental aviation station has
been established by the Navy Depart
ment on the newly reclaimed flats of
the Anacostia river. just opposite the
Washington navy yard. 1t is equipped
with hangar, 100 by 200 feet in di-
mensions. which has a floor space of
10000 square feet, and is designed to
house small feet of hydro-aeroplanes.
The floor and foundations of the
hangar are of concrete and the frame
work of wood. Two concrete rum
ways extend from the entrances Of the
hangar to two launching piers at the
water front. The structures were built
under rush orders and were completed
in eighteen days.
The station is designed to meet the
long-felt want of a convenient landing
place for the fleet of naval afrplanes to
be used in experimental flights in this
city and vicinity. The air machines
now housed at the local navy yard will
be transferred to the new hangar on
the opposite bank Of the Anacostfa and
brought here from stations in other
localities whore the facilities for the
desired experiments are not so good.
With their arrival. the sight Of air.

cape comment. It is said that the con-
struction Of the new aviation base on
the Anacostia cost only $4,000.
