To the Editor of The Evening Star: In yesterday's issue of The Star appeared an erticle signed by “Taxpayer,” in which he asserts that the Corcoran Cadet Corps contemplate awarding the contract for their new uniforms to an out-of-town bidder, the said uniforms to be paid for out of the pro- ceeds of a fete, toward which Washington merchants are expected to contribute. A brief statement of facts will suffice to show that Mr. Taxpayer Is a little hasty in his re- marks. In 1885 the corps purchased from George F. Tims, corner of 7th and D streets northwest, forty uniforms, costing $600. In 1887, from the same firm, forty-five unt- forms, costing $00. Same year, from Stein- metz & Sons, caps, costing $105. In 1889 our full-dress uniforms (white coats), from Brad- street, “The Clothier,” 1415 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, costing $1,250. When the contract for the new uniforms is awarded Washington merchants may rest assured they shall receive the same consideration as heretofore. E. C.
