Richard to usurp functions In some IN

Reference is made III the report to the

had a legal Interpretation. Whatever abuses
had grown up under il, the report contin-

possession of the Office, by which time the
business there had grown tremendously. In
some instances the report shows Mr.. Van
Colt interpreted the classification act very
literally claiming a Justihcaton that
the clerks received no greater salary than
they were regularly entitled to, owing to the
