pervising inspector general of steamboats,, in
his annual report, recommends that the board
of supervising inspectors be abolished, and in
stead thereof that the secretary of the treas
ury be empowered to convene mixed COM
mission, composed of supervising, local and
assistant inspectors, to examine and report to
him upon the efficiency of any device to be
used upon steam vessels which requires his
approval. In the matter of appointments,
Gen. Dumont says he would respectfully sug-
gest the appointing of supervising, local and
assistant inspectors by the secretary of
the treasury, upon the nomination in
each ease of the immediate su-
perior officer of each grade, thereby hold
ing each supreme officer responsible Tor the
general finish and efficiency of his immediate
subordinate; also giving the superior officer
power to suspend any subordinate pending in
Yestigation of charges by the secretary of the
treasury, involving incompetency, neglect of

charges of remissness of duty in cases where
lives had been previously lost.
