An Important Ruling,

Upon question of directing n clerk to
go to a point away from Washington to
assist the head of bureau upon official
business, while absent on account Of sick
ness, the first comptroller Of the treasury
has decided that, Sin the absence OF the
commissioner by reason Of sickness or
otherwise, the deputy commissioner is,
under the law, the acting commissioner.
There cannot be two commissioners acting
at one and the same time; hence, clerk
detailed to go away from Washington to
assist the absent commissioner ls not absent
on public business, and his expenses cannot
therefore be allowed.n This decision, II is
said, will prevent officials Of the govern
ment from taking private secretaries or
other subordinates with them at public ex-
pense to places where there is no public
duty to be performed. Sections III and
17s, Revised Statutes, are said to govern in
the case.
