| MILEAGE TO RECEIVERS OF PUBLIC MONEYS
As claims are not unfrequently set up for mile
age allowances for persons sent b. Receivers in
charge of public moneys to be de posted as the
law directs, we have to say for their informa-

ers of Public Moneys at the several land offices
for depositing the public funds is regulated by
the Secretary Of the Treasury, and the Score
tary in a circular dated July IS, 1919 directed
that the Receivers should only be allowed for
mileage when the journey is actually performed
| by the Receiver in person. Such is the ruling
of the General Land Office.
