<br />Mr. Watts moved that the Joint Fire 0ommittee
<br />
<br />be authorized
<br />
<br />om.mended
<br />
<br />quently re~anded to said department,
<br />
<br /> The motion was adopted by the following vote:
<br />

<br /> Hall, J. H. Jr., Johnson, Leith,
<br />
<br /> Battleship--
<br />
<br /> other committees,
<br />
<br /> to snbmit the following report thereon:
<br />
<br /> First. After due consideration of the prospects of this yard for the building of a battleship
<br /> or a collier, as well as for work in general, and on advice from Washington, it was the consensus
<br />
<br /> of opinion of the committees that we should go there.
<br /> e
<br />~ Second. A delegation of about thirty preceded to WaShington, and, through the efforts of our
<br />
<br /> representative, Er. ~aynard, we were enabled to interview the President, Secretary of the Navy and
<br /> Assistant Secretary of the ~avy. Both the President and the Secretary of the Navy seemed to be im-
<br /> pressed with the justice of our claims as presented by the committee and by Er. Eaynard; but they
<br /> told us that while they did not thi~ they had the authority, under the provisions of the ~bill~
<br /> as passed, to construct either a battleship or a collier at this yard, they would ts~e the matter
<br /> under further consideration, ~e Secretary, however, assured us that not only we would have an
<br /> abundance of work when the Pacific fleet returned but he would strongly recommend to the next Con-
<br /> gress that this navy yard be made a first class yard in every respect, and that an appropriation
<br /> of $2,500,000 or $~,000,000 be made therefor.
<br />
<br /> The Secretary stated further that he proposed to make this a model navy yard, as there is a
<br />
<br />out of the regular appropriation to the Fire D~partment,
<br />
<br />Honorable 0ommon Council.
