"NoT ENTIRELY REGULAR"

The original charges Of MT. Tullocn made to Postmaster General Smith and the conclusions reached by MT Smith in his report on them follow practically pub lications recently printed. MT. Smith says that the payment of bonds of mil itary clerks by the Government were in order to protect Postmaster Willette and his sureties when the service was organ zed many of the clerks being compara- lively unknown to the local postal au- thoritics and that the Comptroller has since rather inclined to the opinion that these payments. while not entirely reg ular, were warranted under the circum- stances.
 As to the dual compensation to O. H. Smith, former Postmaster General Smith, says that it was the opinion of the De- partment that any employe receiving $2 500 or less could b" paid compensa- ton cn two different rolls but that the technical irregularity was discontinued as soon as the Comptroller of Treasury call ed attention to it.
 Concerning the vouchers for expenses of Beavers, Heath and others, the ne- cessity for the expenditure of the money by the Washington office being ques- toned, MT. Smith says that the vouchers were furnished where possible and the entire account regularly sworn to.

ROSTER IS "ELAsTIC."

The inspector says the roster appears to be elastic to be added to as crcuin- stances arise whether the postmaster re- quested It or not. The aggregate salaries paid to those not connected with the of flee amounted to $1610o. The postmaster says the cashier knows nothing about these names beyond the fact that they are on his pay rolls by written authority of thc Postoffice Department, and the req >son therefore is undoubtedly clear to that department The inspector recommends tNat the roster be confined to bona fide emoloyes of the office. and only such re- tainSd as the needs of the service apply. This, he says, will reduce the expendtt- ure m%ny thousands of dollars without impairinS the efficiency of the service.
 First Assistant Postmaster Johnson. January 7s\1901. called the attention or Postmaster Merritt of Washington to re- ports of the Nostoffice Inspectors which recommended clrtain changes in the per sonnel. Postmaseer Merritt reported that he carried out the recommendations so far as his actions could do so, and re- ferring to the changes directed, said that they had been already made in num- Der of instances. Several of those cited as on the rolls, according to the post masters reply, have been separated from the service of the Washington office.
