Local Naval Reserve ofilcers see
In the report Of the Inspection
Board, just submitted to the Navy
Department. the possibility of q
good reception being made to pro-
posals for a new armory here. Here
tofore all efforts of the oficials
of the local organization to obtain
approval Of recommended armory
projects have run against insur-
mountable obstacles at the Navy
Department, but it appears that
there has been an awakening to the
fact that the Naval Reserve is q
Federal institution and therefore 1t
Is incumbent on the National Gov
ernment to provide 1t with facilities
In which to carry on the training
programs.
The board recommended Federal
support for the construction Of
suitable armories and that the pos
sible national emergency uSages to
which the general Naval Reserve
armory establishment will be put
be included in the war plans. 1t
commented on the report OF the
chief of the Bureau of Navigation
of the Navy Department. which
called attention to the unsatlsfac-
tory armory situation. The Navi-
CATION Bureau chief said it is there
fore incumbent upon the Navy De-
partment to furnish adequate train
ing facilities, including armories. He
added, however, that funds for the
procurement of armories other than
on a rental basis have never been
included in appropriation recon-
mendations, nor has any enabling
legislation for the erection of such
buildings been secured. He strongly
recommended the adoption of an
orderly program looking towards
the furnishing of Naval Reserve
armories.
This was to include program
for both the Naval and Marine
Corps Reserve, to be given sufficient
priority on the shore development
program as to permit some progress
annually towards its completion. In
adopting such program, it was
said. the relative need for armories
for the different organizations. as
we'll as the soundness of maintain
ing an organization in particular
locality would have to be con-
sidered.
