the War Department disallo.yinR the vouchers
Of the Board Of Managers of National Soldiers
Homes for the hire OF private car from Chi
cago to Los Angeles and return during the an

Auditor withheld HE approval OF the bill on
the ground that the law did not authorize tho

In Appearing from the decision Of Auditor

proved by the accounting officers. He also
contended tina az the men composing t he board
