Excerpt from Nineteenth Annual Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners: 1887

Sir: We have the honor to submit the nineteenth annual report of the Board of Indian Commissioners, in pursuance of the act of May 17, 1882.

No change of the membership of the board has been made during the year.

We have given careful attention, as required by law, to the inspection of goods purchased for the Indian service, as well as to the inspection of agencies and other branches of the service, so far as could be done with the means at our disposal.

The reception of bids and the award of contracts for supplies, instead; of being done entirely in New York City, as has been the custom for many years with but one exception, was divided between Saint Louis and New York. The bids for subsistence, transportation, and stock cattle were opened in the former city, and those for all other goods in the latter.

In Saint Louis the meeting was held for this purpose on the 12th of April, in the Commercial Exchange, when 184 proposals for subsistence and transportation and 9 for stock cattle were opened and read in public, and awards were made in all cases, except for a portion of the transportation where the rates were deemed too high, and it was decided to reject the bids and readvertise.

In New York City, on the 3d day of May, 284 proposals for Indian goods were opened and publicly read, as usual. After careful inspection of the samples presented, awards were made for such as seemed best suited for the service. On the 17th of the same month bids were received and opened for the transportation of supplies to some of the Northwestern agencies. The rates were much lower than those previously offered and rejected at Saint Louis, and awards were made.

We have no evidence that anything was gained by the experiment of dividing this business and transferring a part of it to the West. Possibly a few more bids for beef were received than would have been received in New York, but all the contractors with whom we conversed, informed us that they would have made the same offers in the one city as in the other. The expense of transacting the business in two places was much greater, and the gain, if any, did not, in our opinion, compensate for the increased outlay of time and money.
