AN POVER SHORT = INCHARTING WORK Hydrographic Report Calls Attention of Adams to Growing Demands. Beautiful Gifts of China - Brass ‘The output of the hydrographic office for the last fiscal year exceeded that of any year in its history. Rear Admiral W. R. Gherardi, ils chief, vised Secretary Adams today in his nual report, in which he explained that “this increase in production barely Kkeeps pace with the growing demands of the Navy, the mercantile marine, avia- tion activities and other organizations and individuals who use its output.” adding that the office is now under- manned. 3 Admiral Gherardi said that “the pro- duction of charts from original surveys and from other sources, the study and research in oceanography and nautical astronomy, the collecting and compiling of hydrographic data, and the prompt, accurate and complete dissemination of the resulting information to navigators of the Navy, to the mercantile marine and to airplines and airships assist in making the navigation ,of the sea and air safe throughout the world. They combine to make the hydrographic of- fice a military and naval necessity to the national defense and a vital national asset to the United States.” Hazard of Flames.
