Dawes on League Island Navy Yard funding in 1870 debate
Hon. F H Dawes of Massachusetts argued in the House that moving Philadelphia's navy yard to League Island requires over a million dollars in spending, with an $890,000 to $900,000 estimate already prepared for the League Island work. He warned against passing the bill as mere authorization and urged scrutiny of expenditures and potential private sale powers while stressing the broader goal of reducing public debt without sacrificing naval needs.
