refusing to pay us for work on our bills: those
bills and measurements having been made and
certified In every instance, by gentlemen of his
own appointment The few bills be did nav
were paid upon our appeal to the Secretary of the
Interior, who ordered him to pay them in every
instance. After the most vexatious trouble, be al

he was in Office This was during the fall Of fs5l
and spring Of 1853, all which time we had LARGE

otnef possible way by which we could be saved
rom u'ter fuln-we would pay him five hundred
dollars for that service All this occurred before
Col befret became City Postmaster
nhree " Tour months passed, and Capt. Easily
sui hea place and did so until about the first of
July 1913, when Major b. B. French became
Commissioner after which our bills were prompt
lY paid.
A short time after Major French came into
