ESTIMATED COST
IS $3,000 000
Washington. I>ee 1. -It is est'
tnated at the War Department ihat
the forelield artiilclal aland for the
defense of the entrance of Chesa
peake Bay, recently advocated by
President Taft iu one of his speeches .
before th<- waterways er/nventio., at
Norfolk, can be constructel for about
$3,000,000. This is rfar below the I
or ginal estimates of from $10,000,-'
000 to $12,000,000. The necessity'
for ueh a structure was pointed out
by the Taft defense lM»ard In 1006.
hut the proposition was dropped oe
enuse of the great expense. The plan '
contemplated the building of a., is
lan] on what is known as the '‘mid
dle ground” n the entrance mid-,
way between Cape# Charles and lieu-;
ry with heavy batteries o arranged
as to command the five-mile chan-)
nn] of navigable water rom-tructingi
the only entrance from the ocean.
That poln la about eighteen miles
below Fort Monroe and he yon I th<
effective range f tin* heaves) guns
at that fort.
The original plans have been niato-i
riallv changed and tin* coat considor
ahly reduced, ft is now propo nd to
construct a fortification similar to
that on FJI FraPe in the Philippines, j
That consists of a small it closure
surrounded by a wall of concrete
forty feet thick and containing two
steel turret each mounting two four
teen-inch guns, together with a sec
ondary battery of four six-inch iruu
The use of turrets instead of dis
appearing gens i a saving In space
and expense. On the Fhevnpeakc
Islan 1 it Is proposed to erect the
largest and most effective guns oo
tainable. It said there are no en
gi'nnering difficulty- In the construe
tlon of the Island. a* ther in a good
sand foundation abut seventeen feet
below the surface. The plan s to
confine the allotted space with rows
of piling fl 1-1 if with finely broken
stone and cap the mas with solid
concrete, having outer walls fort\
feet thick Ammunlt on. mines, ra«».
mates, etc., will bo placed lnmeath
the floor forming the base of the
gun turrets.
It Is ron’endol by military and
naval exports that the promis'd for
tification would make the entrance
