yesterday afternoon for the purpose OF dis
cussinR with tho Treasury officials some Of
the features OF the Fairchid Commissions

recommendations to tho effect that naval
offices at all ports except New York shall be
abolished. IL this is done. the duties OF First
Auditor Baldwin OF the Treasury Department
will be very much increased. and It will also
pave tho way for the retirement OF William l..

the situation In the New York Custom House
believe that the naval ofics at this port sh ould
be abolished, as it 10 nothing more than the
nth wheel Of coach and 10 more bother than
II IL worth.
The vast majority Of the litigation thrust
upon the collectors by the naval office here
has been decided against the Government by

customs experts Is that the naval ONCE is A
nuisance. and that n the nAya offices at other
ports are TO he abolished. the one here should
