Navy Department reforms meet stiff opposition amid bureau clashes
Washington Letter from June 1887 discusses Secretary Chandler’s reform efforts in the Navy Department, the persistent bureau rivalries that hinder consolidation of purchasing and accounting, and the shift toward a three-branch structure. It notes prosecutions of fraud by contractors and the resistance from bureau chiefs and the Naval Committee against reorganization. It also covers Whitney’s early business-style scrutiny and the continued push for centralized stores control and improved inventories.
