I do not think there should be anything done with this valuable property which will in the least embarrass the Government in its sale.
I am advised by the Pension Bureau that the bill, if it becomes a law in its present form, would be inoperative.
I can not gather from the facts I have been able to collect concerning this appropriation that it is justified on any ground.
It is most gratifying to note the satisfactory results that have followed the inauguration of the new system provided for...certain Federal officials are compensated by salaries instead of fees.
