District Government Affairs.

MIR. E. B TOWNSEND FULLY EXONERATED
The District Commissioners have sent to
MIR. +. B. Townsend superintendent of proper
ty, ID. C., a communication saying: In com
pliance with your written request under date of
February 10Th, we appointed a committee to
investigate the charges presented against you,
and herewith we furnish you a copy of the re
port of that committee. 1t completely ac-
quits you in the following words: We there
fore unite in fully generating Mr.. Townsend
from all the charges that have been submitted
to us for examinations; and. further, they
commend the manner in which the accounts
of your office are kept The full exoneration
thus reported affords US pleasure to communi-
cate to YOU" The communication is signed
by commissioners Phelps and Bryan.
The investigating committee consisting of
Assistant Attorney Miller. Auditor Ninton
and Treasurer Dodge, say in their report:
" The active party, and to one chiefly RESPONSE
bic 1er the charges, 50 far Us we could dis
cover was William J. Lee, formerly in the
employment of the District but he was in
communication and consultation with Theo
dOre G. Ray. who is now a messenger in Mr.
IoWnSend'S office. The testimony satisfies us
that he was active in promoting the charges
although he had no reason to suppose there
was any foundation for them. We think that
such conduct on his part juStfieS and requires
his removal from the position he now holds

The tailor said that he considered all his
transactions strictly confidential, and con-
tihued: This is only a branch of our bust
ness which is that of regular tailOrS, but it has
brought us good many customers in the reg
ular way, Our coats are of such a make and
such good fits that they do not look like hired
coats at all: so that the better classes do
better with us than they could with the COS
TUNERS
What do you do with these coats when they
are worn Out?''
As soon as they begin to look shabby we
sell Them. Every summer we have a sale of
the clothes used during the previous winter.
We sell them OFF to walters in the hotels and
restaurants for 80 and s. each. Those that
are not suitable for walters we get rid of to
the secondhand clOthierS, and then they are
sold here and down south to deacOnS in col
Ored churches and so on. A coat may be made
for some prominent gentleman in New York
by some fashionable tailor; it does not fit |
buy it and hire it out for a season: then l sell
it to dealer, and he sells it to some waiter,
and that waiter may wait upon the gentleman
for whom the coat was made, in his own gar
ment: so you see our trade unites all classes
OF society. All said he, holding up one OF
the garments, you put that on a $40 week
clerk, and you would not know him from the
president of a savings bank a month after il
had failed. This is a most useful business, sir

From the New York world
There has recently been established on
BroOme street Il place where, upon the pay
ment OF a moderate sum, dress coats can be
hlred by the day or night on easy terms. A
short time ago the proprietor learned that the
costumers were doing a considerable business
III hiring out dress suits as well as fancy COS
tunes, and making handsome profit on the
do this he could too, and he accordingly laid
in stock of 100 dress coats, some second
hand and other misfits. from leading Broad
way tallorS. and advertised that in addition
to his regular tailoring business he was pre-
pared to fit out all corners in society trappings
OF the most approved kind on the shortest no.
tice. His enterprise has proved very success
tu, and he enjoys a large patronage. This
tailor yesterday explained the mysteries of his
business to World reporter. He said: 81
have about hundred SwaOw-taii coats in
STOCK: some OF them are plain and second
hand, others are Satin-lined and made by the
best cutters in the city. / rent them at a
charge OF 81 % night, with vest to match at
81 addltlOnal. My customers are apparently
Well-fe-dO; many of them could afford to buy
dress suits, but as they do not often use them
they do not care to go to the expense. Some
OF them are what | call regulars: they come
to me dozen times in the season. and when
can give them the same coat every time.
Inns is the busy season Just now, from Decem-
per to February. During these three months
there are lots of balls, parties, weddings and
receptions, and sometimes we have twenty
coats out In night. Rarely do we have less
than twelve out. l suppose most of my Gus
toners are clerks small tradesmen, and even
some professional men, who do not have fire.
quent use for dress coats, but have to use them
sometimes. | do not let out trousers. 1t is not
easy to fit them. Besides there are some
people who would not care to hire them, and
most people can afford to buy them"
But do you never lose any of the coats SO
hired?"
"Oh. no. was the reply, I'VE take precau-
lions against loss or damage. When we rent
out our coats we take a deposit, unless we
know the customer very well and are Sure of
his returning the article. When we do not
know him sufficiently we make the following
