NAVY YARD NEEDS
/. ARE LISTED IN BILL
Boiler Shop Extension and
$105,000 Foundry Improve
ments Urged.

foundry. $4,000.
Admiral Gregory, during the hearings
before the appropriations committee

under contemplation in the bill pending
in the Senate, it will be necessary to
increase certain activities at the Wash
ington Navy Yard
Construction Work Cited.
"They will have a great deal of con-
Structlon work, building of guns,
mounts and SO on, which require i'm
provements in the plant, and there are
a number of items which ought to be
provided at that station. But the two
most important ones are included in the
budget" Admiral Gregory said.
He referred to extending six bays of
70 feet each on the boiler shop which
are considered essential
Admiral Gregory emphasized that the
Item for improvement of the brass
foundry also is necessary because Of
interference with operations in the steel
foundry, where the brass smelling has
had to be done on night shifts The
proposed improvement is a one-story
extension, 200 feet by 33 feet, to an ex-
listing building.
Would Use Scrap Metal.
Admiral Gregory explained that the
proposal covers the retaining of disable
metal from scrap brass and probably
VIII result in saving annually of al
most as much as the appropriation of

is an increase of $28,420, and $4,000

Item $4,000 is for renovating the quar-
tiers on the reservation formerly occu-
pied by the superintendent, and for
providing the quarters with some new

tional is provided to meet the added
