WORK ON THE NEW NAVY NEEDS PARLIAMENTARY APPROPRIATION
The Navy Department seeks about 16 million dollars for next year to fulfill existing contracts with 9 million for vessel construction and 7 million for machinery and armament. The plan excludes new ships and hinges on House Naval Committee actions. Many naval officers favor several quick, small craft over one large battleship and copper bottom sheathing for future cruisers. Recent reports say San Francisco and Baltimore suffer fouled bottoms, delaying speed. both head to Mare Island for repairs.
