engaged in the preparation of Il report up
OH the customs service in that district,

rotary. The report is mainly confined to
routine matters, and is similar to the re-
ports which Secretary Manning has called
for from all the collectors of customs as
basis for recommendation in his own
forthcoming report. Mr.. Smalley's report
will show Il reduction in the annual eX-
penditures of his collection district of
about $4,000. About eighteen clerks have
been dismissed and few more will be re-
moved without lnjuring the efficiency of
the service. If many more discharges are
made in this Office the number of clerks
will be reduced below fifty, and then the
office will no longer be subject to the civil
