1t is probable the clerks and some
other employees in the bureau of engrav.
ng and printing not directly employed
in the production OF greenhacks and
other government obligations will have
to take certificates of indebtedness in
stead of cash for their salaries for the
remainder of the fiscal year. This is the
result of an error in the enrolment oil
the deficiency bill, by which the word
"thousand was left off after the appro-
prlation intended to be $S7 600 for def
cheney in the pay of clerical and other
help at the bureau of engraving and
printing. 1t is presumed the employees
will not be dropped from the rolls for the
remainder Of this fiscal year, as they are
necessary to the working of the bureau.
1t is likely this will be considered case
wherein the government officers are au-
thorized TO create an Indebtedness under
the statute providing that "no govern.
ment officer shall incur indebtedness for
the government except to save lie and
property" 1t may be held the employ
ment of these clerks is necessary to save
property" The clerks will then be
given certificates stating they have rem
dered service to the value named, and
these they will probably be able to yet
discounted for a consideration by local
money lenders. Several other errors in
enrolment have been discovered. In
the pension appropriation bill an appro-
priation of SO Is, 900 was intended for fees
of examining surgeons, In enrolling
the word "tive" was left out, so that
the item reads "three hundred thousand
dollars" A deficiency of $5,000 from
the proper amount will not be serious in
view of the smallness of the amount and
of the fact that it WAS made on estimates
which in any event may be too large or
too small, and which can be remedied
next session before the money actually
appropriated is exhausted. Tnese are
but few OF the errors committed in the
enrolment of appropriation bills, and
others are expected to come to light
every day.
