Washington, D. C, Dec. 7. That
congress will bo asked to mnko bo
clftl provision tor .thd ilraprbrvemont
o( facilities nt tho Pugot Sound and
Maro Island navy yards on tho Pa
cific const so that battleships of tho
deepest draft can dock at olthor
place for repairs was made ovldent
wuen tho report of Rear-Admiral W.
L. Cups, chief constructors of tho
United States navy, was made public
today,
Tho report of the chief construc
tor contains his first official state
ment s-lnco his visit to Hawaii and
tk Pacific coast last July and it lq
nae" plain that the ttayy depart
meet will rocom&ioad that facilities
be provided on tho Pacific coast for
docking the largo fleet that will
ereautally bo maintained In the Pa
cific ocean.
Rear-Admiral Capps recotatnonds
that $20,00 bo appropriated for repairs-and
Improvements at the Puget
Sound navy yard and a like amount
for construction work at Maro Is
land. This amount Is noodod, ho
says, for work that Is absolutely
'necessary and ho makes a rocom
'mondntlon that an additional ap
propriation bo mado for Improve
ment work.
' The facilities on tho Atlantic
coast uro being Improved, says tho
roport, but It adds:
''Thoro Is only one dry dock on
tho Pacific coast which can bo used
for docking battleships, nnd that Is
located at tho navy yard. Pugot
Sound. Thoro aro, howovor,
rflher docks In the course- of con
Atrurtlon, 'vlxjOriei. nt -Pugot Sound
and one njMtiro Island, which, when
completed, will accommodnto tho
largest btttlcHhlps now In commlB
hIoii or lnld down. It la not prob
able that tho dock at Pugot Sound
will bo available for use within tho
next threo yours. Tho now dock nt
Mine Island, howovor, undor favor
able conditions, ought to bo mado
ready for uso within tho next year or
in months."
Admiral Capps calls attention to
llio fact that during tho recent visit
of tho Atlantic (loot to tho Pacific
t i.tst piore than half tho vohhoIh of
tli (loot wore docked nt a private
dock at Humors' Point.
In reporting on his Inspection of
l ho navy yards on tho Pacific const,
Admiral Capps says:
"In conformity with tho dopart
muna's Instructions, tho navy yards
at Maro Island, Calif., and Puget
Sound, Washington, woro visited on
my return trip to Washington,
while conditions nt theso yards are
constantly Improving there Is still
room for considerable Improvement,
especially with respect to docking
and pier facilities and appliances for
handling hoavy welghta,"
The chief constructor takes up the
mooted question of tho deopenlng of
'ho nproaches to tho Maro Island
navy yard, concerning which thoro
was such n diversity of opinion on
tho Pacific coast.
"jWhilo tho dopth of water In tho
approaches to nnd at the navy yard,
Puget Sound, la all that could bo do
sired," he says, "the navy yard, Maro
Island, Is not nearly so fortunate In
this respect, and the provision of an
adequate depth of water In the ap
proaches thoruto Is a mntor of the
highest Importanco and It Is recom
monded that the department take
such steps as may bo practicable to
rernody thoso defects,"
it Is thought hore thatthls portion
of Constructor Capps' report will re
sult la the granting of tho request
of tho commercial bodies of Califor
nia for the appointment of another
commission to make doflnlto recom
mendations for the deeping of tho
channol .to Maro Island and for tho
Improvement of the docking facil
ities at that navy yard.
In commenting on tho building of
ships at government navy yards,
Constructor CappB calls uttentlon to
tho fact that Inadequate facility for
handling heavy weights at Maro Is
land was responsible for tho delay
In launching the collier Promotheus
which was launched there December
6.
It is stated In official circles here
that tho agitation on the Pacific
coast for greator facilities ut the
navy yards there will hear fruit .nt
this session of congress and that the
new commission asked for to I uvea
llgato and make recommendations on
maintaining a deep approach to
Maro Island will shortly be ap
pointed. The general sontlmont la the navy
department favors tho speedy build
ing of naval facilities on the Pacflc
coast so that the contemplated larg
cr Pacific fleet can be cared for when
