After an exhaustive review of the advantages offered by both localities, the board reoommends that it is expeditious to transfer the na val station now at Port Royal to a point near the city of Charleston and finds the only available site to be that on the west bank of the Cooper river, about six miles above the Charleston custom house, composing a part of Chioora park, and also. If deemed advisable, a part of the marsh land belonging to the state of South Carolina,- whioh lies south of Lawtoa island. - The only other site examined by the board In the vicin ity ef Charleston whioh afforded the necessary water front, was on the south bank of the Wando river, but as this site has neither railroad connection nor available water facilities, it was not deemed advisable for the purposes in terested.
