Army Engineer's Presence Here Just Part of Preliminary Survey. Eagle Bureau, SOI Colorado Building. Washington, July 3 A United States monument to commemorate the Battle of Long Island in Brooklyn ii still a long way off. War Department officials said today when they explained the presence of Capt. H.

A. Skerry, an Army engineer, in the battleground area as part of a general preliminary examination being made by the War preparatory to a general survey and the subsequent preparation of a comprehensive plan to build suitable monuments at all such historic places. The 69th Congress two years ago authorized the Secretary of War to make surveys and studies of all important battlefields within the United States with a view to preparing a general plan for constructing suitable memorials. No money was appropriated for this survey. The Secretary of War was instructed to conduct a preliminary examination of the sites to ascertain how much the survey itself would cost.

Estimates Its Cost. It is expected that the preparation of the plan would cost between S25.000 and $50,000. which Congress has yet to appropriate. After that, Congress has to approve the plan and supply the necessary funds for the construction of memorials a project yet so remote the War Department has not prepared even rough estimates of its cost. The Battle of Long Island is listed as one of the important engagements to come within the terms of the survey and Captain Skerry went over the general site last week to prepare an estimate of how much it would cos; to survey this battleground as part of the general plan and make the necessary recommendation for a memorial.

Captain Skerry's Inspection Is not to be confused with the survey Itself, which will come after Congress appropriates money. Officers Work on IHstory. During the summer special histories of the battles listed will be prepared by the historical section of the Army War College to be Incorporated in the Secretary of War's statement as to the estimated cost of the survey to be submitted to Congress next wlrrter. Student officers are now at work on the Battle of Long Island history. The preliminary examination now being conducted of all battle sites It simply the first step in a general plan, the details of which will not be developed until Congress specifically authorizes the Secretary of War to go forward on the survey itself.
