Comp parisons Reveal.

Of May "a. 1884. This decision held
that Post ONCE Department employees
could not count service between those
dates for the purpose Of receiving
an automatic increase in pay. 1t is
felt by disbursing officers, however.
that it would be prudent to have Off
cially determined the question wheth-
er or not the decision of May "a
will be applied by the controller
general to personnel of the military
naval service. War and Navy De-
partment law officers are firm in the
opinion that the decision of the
controller general has no applica-
ton to service personnel. They con-
tend that service was not suspended
during the two years in question, but
only the increase in compensation
by reason of length of service or
promotion" was suspended.
