Not Responsible for RaT's Method.

The report published that Henry Raft,
who is employed to detect unlicensed dealers
by the District, receives salary of 81 800
per annum, is incorrect. His pay is S75
per month. The District Commissioners
have nothing to do with his method of
work. 1t is entirely his own business, and
for that he is employed. One noticeable
feature has developed since his en-
ployment the receipts for licenses have
largely increased and the leak
ages incidental to petty beating" of
the District by dealers and taxpayers de-
creased. The receipts from personal taxes
in 1873 were $139202; 1879, $163,364; 1880,
$116,6l4, and 1881 they foot up 1910, 403.
The receipts from licenses in 1870 were but
Sill, 800 in 1880, $120,640, and in the re-
port of 1881 this amount runs up to $145,-
23S.
1t may be that Raft resorts, as the Repub-
icdn charges, to mean and unmanly methods,
but the District Commissioners are not per-
sonally responsible for his personal acts.
