The Secretary OF the Navy, while attentive to the pub
lie interest and sudious of economy, has deter
mined 10 withdraw the contracts for making clothing for
the u S. navy from Philadelphia, and transfer them to
New York." because there such contracts in Phil
adephia have there been least for several years
and because he has authority to make transfers,
here described.
The contracts for clothing for the navy made
nualy with the lowest bidders in conformity to law, a
Ter advertising least four weeks for proposals. The
clothing for the marines furnished through the Quar-
ermasters Department. over which the Secretary of the
Navy exercises control.
For several years the principal contracts for navy
clothing have been obtained in Boston, where COMPETE
heaviest contracts went to New York These contracts,
however, are confined to city State, but are
made some of them with gentlemen in Boston, Ger
mantown, Washington, Richmond, Sc Had the cor
respondent of the Integencer consulted the printed
documents accompanying the Presidents message (and
with which political teacher and moralist should be
convesant) the error, in relation to Philadelphia would
not have been committed for he may there see, annu
