Washington Letter on Hitchcock Economy in Postoffice Offices
The letter reports on Postmaster General Hitchcock's expenditures to refurnish the red and brown rooms with costly Casrassion walnut furnishings, carpets, and drapery, without bids or competition. It cites a $7,500 scope for three rooms and related items, plus other travel and subsistence costs for a government commission. The piece also notes broader political themes about trusts, investigations, and committee actions in Congress.
