Dawes Opposes Philadelphia Navy Yard Transfer Bill
In a Senate floor speech Dawes contends the Philadelphia navy yard transfer to League Island is a new public work requiring proper appropriation. He warns the bill would place $3,000,000 under Navy control with no Treasury accounting and cites estimated additonal costs of raising League Island and related yards. Dawes urges careful scrutiny, budget reductions, and refuses to support passage under the previous question.
