Support of Navy Urged at Perry Centennial
Col Watterson and Col Hayes urged the Navy Department to flotilla ships for the Perry Lake Erie centennial at Put-In-Bay and to pace for a Perry Memorial building museum. Assistant Secretary Winthrop received the proposal but could not commit due to the date’s distance. Lincoln Memorial bill seeks $2,000,000 DC monument with a dedicated commission chaired by Taft and others. Senate and House leaders would oversee a library committee staffed commission. A separate bill would raise Supreme Court and federal judge salaries to $18,000 and $17,500 respectively.
