Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, visiting Bremerton, said he hopes to increase the next annual appropriation rather than reduce it by 6 million dollars. He cited Pacific fleet basing and coast navy yards needing enlargements and improvements, noting 82 million spent in Oregon and Washington last year.
