the abovestated Ordinance the salary
for one of the two clerks in the
Presidents Secretary's Office is $1,000

the line with $1,000 p. a. because the

ADDITIONAL ROOM.
desire to renew the recommendation made by
several ofmy predecessors in regard to the urgent
need OF more room than is now afforded for the
proper accommodation Of the clerical force and for
the better care and preservation OF the files and
records of the several bureaus Of the Department.
The steady increase in the public business CON-
mitted to my supervision makes this want more
pressing with each recurring year, and II is be-
coming a matter of absolute and imperative neces-
sity that some means be adopted to meet the
needs of the Department in this respect.
