GENERAL CONSIDERATION OF NAVY YARD DESIGN. 81 



these. The draughting rooms and certain office storerooms are on the' third floor. 

 The office buildings, as the central row may be styled, are the only ones which are 

 three-story, and so far as can be foreseen only part of them need be of that height. 



Miscellaneous Buildings. — The provision and clothing storehouse is located 

 outside of the shop area and is for the supply of ships and not of shops. The 

 clothing factory is near it. The paint and oil storehouse is placed at some dis- 

 tance from the other stores on account of the inflammable character of the stores. 

 The paint factory is equally isolated. The barracks and quarters of officers are 

 not shown. They are easily arranged. 



The Pozver House is placed close to the water front so that fuel can be delivered 

 directly into the bunkers of the boiler plant, while ashes can be ejected into the 

 dump scows. It is planned to use oil, but the placing of the power house is such 

 as to render the use of coal as economical as possible, if such use should ever be- 

 come necessary. The cost of power with oil fuel ought to be less than 0.4 cents per 

 kilowatt hour, this cost to include all expense except plant and to cover repairs 

 and maintenance of plant and distributing systems.
