Townsend, in charge of the ' local Weather Bureau office and sec- : titn direction'for Pennsylvania, is soon to accept an assignment to less arduous duties. Mr. Townsend came to FhilaI j delphio to take charge of the offioe in ' June, 1880 ant? except tor brief inter- " I vals he has directed the work ever '■ j sine. In 1887 he was made director of ' • tbe State service and was employed by I the State and the Weather Bureau, [ working in cooperation, for a period of . about three years. During that time , Luther M. Dey was in charge of the local work in Philadelphia. . Later Mr. Townsend was made inspector in the Weather Bureau, with ! his headquarters at Philadelphia, and . ; a year and a half afterwards was called , I into the central office in Washington to I I act£in the capacity of chief of a divis- , ion. He returned to Philadelphia in , November, 1893, and has remained here I constantly since that time. . On account of his advanced age, he j has felt for some time that he would i arrange to take life more easily during I his declining years, and recently asked to be assigned to less exacting duties. , The chief of the bureau has very considerately assigned him to tbe station at Oape May, where the local interests will bi* his entire care, aa no State service is operated in connection with the station. Mr. Townsend entered the old Signal Corps in 1871. a few months after its organization, and therefore has been thirty eight years in the weather service. He will be succeeded at Philadelphia by George S. Bliss, who came to tbe statign two and a half years in the capacity of first assistant. Observer George Lovett, who . has in charge .here for a number of years, says be has received no notice from tbe department respecting the matter.
