two years he has been chairman of
the Federal Trafiic Board. which acts

AS Navy disbursing officer Com
mander Mayo's duties comprised sums
for materials delivered to the Navy
under contracts, payments to other
government departments for mate
rials and services received from those
departments. payment of all freight

Its of the United States. payment Of
travelling expenses or officers and ci-
VILLAINS travelling on government busi-
ness. payment for construction Of
vessels. public works and other
claims Of miscellaneous character. :
Prior to the war the disbursements
of the Navy disbursing office amount
ed to $4,000,000 a month. During the
war these expenditures reached al
most $4.000.oo0 a day.
During Commander Mayo's incum-
bency OF the office. which covered the
greater period OF the world war, the
force OF clerks under him numbered
at times as high as 75o.
No once Change Required.
The most remarkable feature of this
enormous task was that no change
in the organization of the office was
required, neither during nor after the
war. The forces in the various sec.
tions were simply augmented as the
work increased, and as the work de-
creased after the war, those forces
Were gradually reduced. The work
ing force of the office was Increased

pidity that sufficient working space
could not be found, so that at times

shifts. ",

The $50 bonus or war gratuity, was
paid by Commander Mayo to all those
persons who served in the Navy dur
ing the world war. and who for vari-
Gus reasons had servered their con-
nections with the Navy up to and
including March 1. 1919. .:
The work was thrown into his offioe
upon the passage of the act in FebrO-
ary, 1919, without any special pro-
vision being made for an organiza-
ton to conduct it. With few clerks
taken from other work in the Office
as nucleus, an organization was
built UP with clerks loaned by other
bureaus and Offices in tha Navy De-
partment. As the work did not pro-
ceed rapidly enough, the entire Office
force was placed upon the work so
that with overtime work at times
reaching far into the night. the
gratuities were paid. At one period
of the work the number Of gratuity
claims paid in day reached 1880.
