Secretary OF the Treasury he will consider what
Collector Bidwell may have to shy on the sub
ject. Some of the observations of the agents
may lead to n cutting down OF salaries of sew
eral port officials and q reduction in the force of
clerks and employees. The principal object of
the investigation ordered by Secretary Gage
was one Of economy. IL is hoped that expendi-
lures in connection with tho administration Of
the port may be reduced in the same way that
expenses at the immigrant stations were cut
down.
Secretary Gage believes that the SIS. 900 salary
Ut tho Naval Officer OF tho port is too large and
should be reduced by Mt least 81, 600. He has
the same opinion in regard to the salary of the
Surveyor. The Naval Officer has practically
nothing to do but draw his salary, and tho Sur
yeyor's duties are for less arduous than those of
tho Appraiser. whose salary is only Sc. 900 per
annum.
