OPTOTHEGENERAL BOARD
IT IS TO DECIDK ON LAKE WASH
IXGTOX CANAL PROJECT.
Probable That the Adveme neport
. of the Majoritr "Will Be Con.
cnrrcd In.
2WASHINGT0'Nr"Tuhe SI Because the
special board which made an Investiga
tion to determine the advisability of es
tablishing a fresh-water basin In Lake
tjashlngton, for the benefit of the Navy.
Wis failed to make a decisive report, the
Secretary of the Navy has enclosed the
two reports to the General Board for de
5slon. It is evident from the tone of
the Joint report that not one of the six
officers comprising the board is willing
to recommend the establishment of a na
tal base on this lake. The ma'jorlty con
tent themselves by asking If U Is advisa
ble for the Navy to establish such a sta
tion In q lake that Is connected with the
Open sea by a mere canal which might
easily be destroyed in time of war and
render absolutely useless every vessel
that might have taken refuge within the
lake at the time. The majority further
asks If It Is advisable to establish such a
base across Puget Sound from the Bre
rnerton station, already in operation, and
Indicate the Inadvisabllity qf having two
stations in one vicinity. The minority,
the commandant at the Bremerton sta
tion, and his chief constructor, eeem fear
ful lest the establishment of such a naval
station in Lake Washington might finally
result In the abandonment of the Bre
zncrton station altogether.
While the opinion's expressed are non
commlttal, it is found necessary to call
fcpon the General Board for a decision,
nnd In view of the strong 6howing made
fcy the majority against the establish
ment of a new station, and in view of a
very weak report pointing out its ad
vantages, the-probability would seem to
be that an adverse report will finally be
nanded down. The Navy Department Is
Xlbt seeking means for destroying the
ehips of our Navy, but rather of giving
them every possible protection.
