The plans of the Admiralty include the provision of storage accommodation for oil fuel at a cost of £989,000, and this undertaking is now practically complete. It is estimated that, in addition to this sum, about £11,000,000 will be required for creating the naval base, comprising graving as well as floating dock capable of accommodating the largest man-of-war, seaward defences, work shops, and other essential accommodation ashore. Down to the end of March last Father less than £180,000 had been spent, And it is estimated that during the com ing year the outgoings will not amount

Since the matter is urgent, they are carrying out preliminary work for the berthing of a floating dock, which is to be built in England and towed out in sections. It was at first intended to adapt one of the ex-German docks for this purpose, but experience in taking out one of these unwieldly structures to Malta led the Admiralty to decide to
