As follows: ssThe effort of Mr.. -, and
others in the employ of this bureau, 70 avail
themselves of the facilities the city affords for
culture and the pursuit Of the learned profess

The condition Of the public work Of this bureau
I'll not justify me In granting leaves Of absence
for the purpose indicated, and seriously donbt
whether any public oficer would be justified in
bearing upon the rolls persons under govern
ment employ while prosecuting studies solely for
personal ends. This remark refers only TO the
time embraced in the regular Office hours. The
time before a and after D. M oil each day,
