Massachusetts Moves to Seize War Gear From War Dept
Governor McCall and the Governor and Council pressed ahead on measures to cut red tape and secure $750,000 worth of equipment to arm the National Guard at war strength. They warned War Department officials they would purchase equipment in Massachusetts now and seek reimbursement later if Congress does not authorize payment before shipment. General Sweetser and other officers urged speed, criticizing delays in assigning militiamen to duty and lamenting Army red tape delaying readiness. The War Department reportedly lacks funds, awaiting a forthcoming congressional appropriation.
