In ordinary, recelvi pg ships, store ships on the stocks, re pairing, at the naval academy, pubic marine school and tugs of all kinds at yards, there are 96 vessels, making, with those in commission, a total of 139. The necessity for the increase or the number of efficient vessels for the navy ts apparent, The finishing of the five monitors and two cruising ships now commenced, the Tepairs of the Dictator and the buliding of two" armored ships of a displacement of 5,59) tous each, and of three unarmored gun-boats, having each a displacement of 70) tons, is recom- mended. These vessels would Cost $2,910,090. Commedore Law, chief of the bureay yards and docks, among his estimates for ti different yards’ and stations, putsin for the Washington yard $12,604.70 for the purchase of square $53, and $20,000 for dredging channel. Money has been appropriated ‘for the im- provement of the Potomac channels, buc hothing has been done towards matntainiag the channel of the Eastern branch, and govera- ment vessels flnd great difficulty in obtaining ingress and egress from the navy yard.
