the country"
We have to reply to the first clause Of the first inter
rogatory that tho principles upon which the quota Of
the City Of New.York is assigned hayo been made
known 10 the Committee " the Board of Supervisors by
the report made by the sub Committee appointed by
them 10 which you refer which report is appended

ray that tho furnished us by the report We

We thought It necessary IN order 10 show the occa'
sion OF the Increase OF the quotas assigned IN January
utmo over these sRned In December, that the ig-
ures by which the quotas Of December arrived at
should be i nished us In the the figures

the honor TO acknowledge the receipt Of your communi
cation OF this morning stating that you had laid the
subject before tho President and the Secretary OF War;
