DISPUTE ABOUT OFFICIAL MEASUREMENTS ov
LuMBER.-A little unpeasantness occurred YES
terday between Mr.. Columbus Thomas. the
measurer and inspector of lumber for this port.
and Mr. Joseph Libbey, the well-known lumber
dealer of the firm of Jos. l. J. E. Libbey. A
cargo Of lumber arrived to Mr. Libbey from Nor
folk. which Mr.. Libbey informed Mr. Thomas had
been inspected there, and that he did not wish
| him to inspect it. Mr.. Thomas contended that
it was not only his light, but his duty to do so.
and later going upO. the wharf to do so, was
forcibly elected by Mr.. Libbey. A few days ago
cargo arrived here for E. f. Jackson 4 Co.,
and they in disregard Of the law and despite a
letter from the Commissioners, sent an inspector
and measurer from Washington to do that duty,
although informed by the Commissioners that
all lumber coming to this port of the District
must be measured by Mr. Thomas, the inspector
for Georgetown. The matter is likely to go into
| the courts.
