Vast Supply of Fuel.

The I, 1t during the year was supplied
with over 1000, 900 tons of steaming coal
over 4,5oO 600 barrels Of oil fuel and ap-
| proximately 11.5G0.000 gallons of gaso-
line. In the distribution of these in
creased requirements it was found nee
essary at the beginning of the year te
place allotments with leading suppliers
throughout the country for an equitable
share of the total production. Fue
storage facilities have been greatly en-
larged in order to insure the prompt
supply of fuel to the fleet.
Salvage of condemned and waste ma
terial has been given increased atten-
ton; and the sales of such materials as
garbage, grease and bones not only have
indirectly increased the national produc-
ton of pork, grease. glycerin and fer
tilizer, but have brought considerable
funds to the Treasury. Scrap steel ano
nonferrous metal scrap have been util-
lied to the fullest extent. The collection
and sale Of waste paper and paper stock
have been systematized, and winter
clothing has been salvaged for repairing
reworking or sale. Combustible waste
materials for steam general ton at va.
rious stations have been burned, witt
savings in fuel cost and conservation Of
| coal.

NAWKEPTLARDER
FULLFOR FIGHTERS
Accomplishment of War Task
Described in Paymaster
Generals Report.
SAVED MONEY IN BUYING

OF the many ways in which the United
States Navy contributed toward the VIC
tory in the great world war probably
rome was more important than the fur
njshing Of supplies to the fighting forces
both of our own Navy and of the allies
5000 miles away.
How this achievement was made pos
sible is detailed in the annual report Of
Paymaster General Samuel MCGOWAN
chief of the naval bureau of supplies and
accounts.
1t is shown that the protection OF the
government from wasteful expenditures
under the disadvantages of cost-plus has
been brought about through the prepa-
ration of a standard manufacturing
cost-pluS contract devised to eliminate
improper charges and through close
supervision of the expenditures as made
Competition even in the stress OF wal
conditions has been the rule. Cost plus
contracts were emergency exceptions
and never resorted to when open COM
partition could be secured.
Eleven Million Dollars Saved.
Eleven million dollars was saved
during the year by establishing con-
troll over cost-plus contracts and by
examination of costs in connection
with fixed-price contracts.
The usual high standard of the Navy
ration has been consistently main.
tanned. The forces under Admiral
Mayo and Vice Admiral Sims, as well
as those in training ashore, have con-
tinued to receive food identical in
quality, quantity and variety with
that supplied prior to the war, and
the good food has been an important
factor in the excellent health copdi-
lions that have prevailed throughout
the service.
Though the cost of subsistence must
always be secondary to quality and
quantity, it is shown by the report
that. by careful administration of the
commissariat the expense of feeding
our enlisted forces amounted to $4,000
per day less than the rise in the price
of provisions throughout the country
would have justified.
