NO MORE TRAVEL MONEY
FOR EMPLOYEES OF PARKS
Payment Unauthorized. McCarl
Decides, Finding No Trace
of Appropriation.

Employees in the Office of Public
Buildings and Public Parks may
spend no more of Uncle Sans money
for travelling during the present fiscal
year.
Controller General AIcCarl SO or.
dered today in a decision for an en-
ploye of this Office, of which Col. C.
.. Sheriff. is director.
The man in question, Alexander B.
Eadie, had submitted a claim for
S29.13 for travel and subsistence in
April. McCarl allowed this claim be
cause of the confusion that had re-
suited from the taking over by said
office of the unexpended balances of
appropriations made for other serv.
ices
But because there is nothing in the
appropriation act for the office about
travel McCarl held that no pay.
lnent will be authorized for expenses
for travel for that office during the
rest of the year.
Strangely enough. the decision
pointed out that there had been in
cluded in the 1925 budget an estimate
of S14O for travel. but that there was
nothing about il in the appropriation
act for this fiscal year
Furthermore, McCarl said, the ne.
cessity for travel by such an office,
with duties in the District of Column.
oia, was mot apparent"
