THE FIELD ARTILLERY JOURNAL of funds are available; but in most of the states, the battery officers must raise the money necessary; either personally or through public subscriptions. The question is: What are the necessary buildings, and how much will they cost? The following plan is submitted as one that will make a very workable plant. It is one that can easily be enlarged or reduced to suit the different conditions. It is built with the idea that it is necessary to provide the following: A proper place to store the government property; a space for standing gun drill; a locker-room for men; officers' rooms and men's club-rooms; stables for thirty-two horses as government provides care for that number; if possible, a riding hall. Besides this, gymnasium, swimming pool, etc., is, of course, a very fine addition; but can easily be arranged if funds permit. Location: A site should be chosen in a convenient location. To save expense, a very nice arrangement can be worked out by securing a 60or 75-foot lot facing on a first-class street, where 300 to 500 feet can be secured on the street in rear, where ground may be very cheap. This arrangement provides for the battery office, club rooms, locker rooms and stables on one lot, with a riding- and drill-hall in the rear. The large hall to have a balcony about 10 feet wide along two sides with space below to store guns, caissons, wagons, etc., when not in use. There is a cinder road-way all around the riding-hall, which gives an excellent exercise track. At one end, enough to make an easy turn, even with a carriage, is provided; the balance of the space is left at the other end to give room for a "Bull Ring"; also space to unlimber and limber. 124
CURRENT FIELD ARTILLERY NOTES The larger the riding-hall, the better. One with an open space, 90 by 200 feet, would be very good. In fact, a riding-hall with an open space 60 by 100 feet would be much better than many batteries now possess, and would give room for excellent instruction. Space is left at one side of the stable for a picket line. Most National Guard batteries are located in cities where very little use can be had of horses in bad weather, on account of paved streets. For this reason, the arrangement, of buildings, as shown, will be quite an advantage. If all the property is on one street, the quarters, including locker room, Quartermaster's store room, club rooms, office, etc., may be built on one end of the riding-hall, and stables at the other end. In such cases, the "Track" may either go in front of "Quarters," or between it and the riding-hall. The extra ground for drill, being left at the end next stables, will also provide open space to tie horses out. The interior plans of buildings can be made to suit various conditions. Men's lockers will take a space 25 by 40 feet with a Quartermaster's uniform room, 20 by 25 feet, adjoining. A noncommissioned 125
