Something to Boast About.
A short time ago mention was made
in these columns of a letter of com-
mendation received by Hon. Charles
R. Kurtz, surveyor of the Port of Phil-
adelphia, from Becretary McAdoo on
the efficiency of the whole port force
as well as on the low cost for collec-
tions of revenae compared with other
ports east and weal, The statement
showed that the employees receive less
galary than at other points, and to
equalize matters Mr. Kurtz made an
appeal to the secretary of the treasury
and obtained his desiree.
The Philadelphia Ledger, in its Bat-
urday’s issue, editorially commented
on the Philadelphia Custom House
managers, under the caption above in
this manner :
There is no room for partisanship
in the generous recognition that is the
just due of the present management
of the Philadelphia Custom House for
the cutting of expensive red tape and
the setting of an example of efficient
methods which sre now, by edict of
the United States Treasury Depart-
ment, to be made the model for all the
customs districts of, the country.
Secretary McAdoo’s annusl report to
which public attention was drawn a
few days ago in these columne, shows
that the revenue collections at Phils
deiphia were made at a lower cost to
the Governwent than at any other
port excepting New York: but it did
not show as clearly as might have
been decirable that this work was
done here with a proportionally smali-
er force, the merabers of which were
paid at a low: r rate than that received
by officials performing the same &er-
vice elsewhere, Through the impor
tunities of Collector Berry and Burvey-
orf Kurtz this ubjust discrimination
against Philadelphia in the matter of
salaries hae at last been rectified, snd
a marked compliment bas been paid
the Philadelphia office by the adop-
tion througout the service of the rsd-
ical changes in methods which make
for economy snd efficiency.
The credit for this is due to the Bar-
veyor of the Port, who holds the oft-
times novel view that economy snd
efficiency are duties that are obligs-
tory upon public officials, whetver
they be * deserving Democrats’ or
members of the *G, O. P.”
