The salaries Of Chief Assistants OF the
Auditor and Cashier, two in number
are approved at the present figure,
$500 each. The office OF assistant col
lector having become vacant the chief

class should embrace entry, amend
ment, and liquidating Clerks. The
other Clerks in the Collectors Office
shoald be graded by the collector in one
or the other of the classes according to

the naval office and auditor Of the sur.
