ORDER IN RELATION TO SALE OF UNSERVICEABLE QUARTERMASTER'S
PROPERTY.
I. Chief quartermasters of military departments, the chief of the
inspection division, and the regularly assigned inspectors of the
Quartermaster's Department will immediately cause to be made and
forwarded to the Quartermaster-General invoices of such articles of
clothing, camp and garrison equipage, and quartermaster's stores as,
on personal inspection, they may find unserviceable or worthless to
the Government; and also of such articles as it would be more eco-
nomical to the Government to sell than to ship to other points. The
latter invoices will be separate from the former.. The sale of the
property embraced in these invoices having been approved by the
Quartermaster-General, they will be submitted to the Secretary of
War for his orders. All proceedings subsequent to any order of sale
that may be given will be conducted according to the Regulations, by
due advertisement, &c.
II. No sale of public buildings, barracks, quarters, stables, &c.,
will be made except on an order of the Quartermaster-General,
approved by the Secretary of War, indorsed upon a report to be made
in each case in the usual form.
