OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL.

SOLICITOR FOR POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.

Mr. HUSTED. We will

eral, page 76 of the bill.

take up, first, the office of the Attorney GenThere is no change there, Mr. Harris, except in the provision for the Solicitor for the Post Office Department. He is taken out and he, I assume, is to be carried under some other legislation?

Mr. HARRIS. Yes; carried in the Post Office bill.

Mr. HUSTED. Otherwise your estimate for the next year corresponds exactly with the appropriation for the current year?

Mr. HARRIS. Yes, sir. The appropriation for the current year was $479,010 and for next year the estimate is $474,010, a reduction of $5,000, which is the salary of the Solicitor for the Post Office Depart

ment.

Mr. HUSTED. Are all of the positions provided for in this paragraph filled at this time?

Mr. HARRIS. Yes, sir; although there may be some lapses in the lower grades-$900 and such as that-but there are very few, and we fill them as rapidly as we can. There are always vacancies for two or three weeks, sometimes a week and sometimes a month, until we get the men in, but the positions are substantially filled the entire year.

Mr. HUSTED. You think there may be some vacancies?

Mr. HARRIS. There may be at this time.

Mr. HUSTED. Are all of the men assigned to the work represented by their designations in this item?

Mr. HARRIS. Yes, sir; that is, you mean in the office of the Attorney General?

Mr. HUSTED. Yes.

Mr. HARRIS. Yes, sir.
