Commissioner &c Washington D.C. 358/368 General, I have the honor to invite your attention to a plan for disposing of the civil employees now in the B.R.F.& AL, as follows. To replace the Sub-assts throughout the State of Texas by county officers as rapidly as such officers can be found who are proper persons for the positions, It is not proposed to pay the new appointees any salary: their renumeration will consist of charges authorized by, or assimilated to those now provided by the State laws for Services similar to those required of Sub-asst's. It is believed that this plan will save much money and secure a more harmonious & satisfactory administration of the Bureau than can be obtained under the present systems_ I will return to Texas in a few days to make this proposition for your consideration from this place in order to save time, I have the honor to be, General, Very Respectfully, Your Obt Servt, J J Reynolds Bt Major General, Asst.
