FIVE DOLLARS THE LIMIT
FOR CONTINUANCE PAY"
Controllers Ruling on Provision for
Compensation of Enlisted Men
in Coast Guard.

Enlisted men in the coast guard who
have had more than eighteen years
continuous service are entitled to no
more than SIS per month as continuous
service pay. No increase in contin
uous service pay is provided by coast
guard legislation beyond the allowance
authorized for fifth three-year en-
listment.
The controller of the Treasury. in in
terpreting the provision of 81 per
month additional pay for each term
of enlistment, cites the fact that
the coast guard act provides for this
extra compensation up to the fifth en-
listment. He supports the attitude of
the auditor for the Treasury Depart
ment in declining to approve the atti-
tude of the Secretary of the Treasury,
who approved pay rolls providing for 81
monthly increase as accumulative for
terms of enlistment beyond the five
term period.
The only reasonable construction
that can be given to the provision as
worded is that IS is the maximum
monthly increase that can be allowed
for continuous service" comments Con-
troller Downey.
