The practice of one annual inspection, made
under the supervision of the IaspectOr-General
and extending to Dec 81, IS now established by
the action OF successive National Encampments.
This does not interfere with such inspections as
the Commanders cf the several Departments may
deem advisable but it is essential that Depart
lnent and Post officers should cooperate with
the Inspector General and his assistants, to the
end that the general inspection which they are
required 10 make may be accuratea and complete
j
directs that, whenever practicable, the inspec-
ton Of a Post shall be made by comTade not a
member Of such Post; also, that Department
inspectors on duty at the end OF the fourta
quarter shall complete their inspections and
forward duplicate Of their consolidated re-
ports to the Inspector General before being re-
ieved In order 10 secure uniformity In re-
ports. il is recommended that new blanks be
procured by requistiou on the Qu2rtermaster-
General, through Department Headquarters.
