_To the Senate of the United States:_
I transmit herewith a communication of the Secretary of the Interior of

EXECUTIVE MANSION, _February 28, 1882_.
_To the House of Representatives:_
In reply to the resolution of the House of Representatives of the 24th
ultimo, I transmit herewith copies of letters from the Secretary of the
Treasury and the chairman of the Civil Service Commission, dated the
3d and 13th instant, respectively, from which it will be seen that the
appropriation of $15,000 made at the last session of Congress for the
promotion of efficiency in the different branches of the civil service
is still unexpended, and that in order to execute the provisions of
section 1753 of the Revised Statutes an annual appropriation of $25,000
would be necessary.
CHESTER A. ARTHUR.
