Summary
Has received Act of Congress vesting in Governors the supervision of quartermaster activities within their states. While he is anxious to help in every way possible, the present press of duties make such additional duties impossible. Members of the Commissary Department in New York wish to retire, because they conceive that the act makes it possible to remove them without first giving them a hearing.
