claims of the laundress and sutler. The same amounts will be entered
on the muster and descriptive roll of the recruits as "amount paid
laundress, or sutler" (naming them), to be deducted from the pay of
the soldiers at their first subsequent payment.
948. Every officer commanding a recruiting party will procure the
necessary transportation, forage, fuel, straw, and stationery, taking the
requisite vouchers.
949. The transportation of recruits to depots, and from one recruit-
ing station to another, will be paid from the recruiting funds; trans-
portation of officers and enlisted men on the recruiting service will be
paid in the same manner, except when first proceeding to join that
service or returning to their regiments after having been relieved.
Officers are allowed the actual cost of transportation of their servants
when changing stations, on recruiting service. Transportation of
army supplies is paid by the Quartermaster's Department.
950. No expenses of transportation of officers will be admitted that
do not arise under these regulations, or orders emanating from the
Adjutant-General's Office; and in all cases only the actual cost of
transportation, including porterage,will be refunded to officers travel-
ing on recruiting service.
951. Whenever an officer is relieved or withdrawn from the recruit-
ing service he will pay over the balance of any unexpended recruiting
funds in his possession to the officer appointed to succeed him, or to
the paymaster, if no officer be so designated; and if there be no pay-
master or other proper officer convenient to receive such balance,
the amount will be deposited to the credit of the Treasurer of the
United States, with the most convenient Assistant Treasurer, or other
depositary of public moneys. In either case the officer will forward
to the Second Auditor the evidence of the disposition he may make
of the funds, and report the fact to the superintendent, or to the
colonel if on regimental recruiting service.
RENDEZVOUS, QUARTERING, AND SUBSISTING RECRUITS.
952. Written agreements will be made by recruiting officers for the
rent of a rendezvous upon the most reasonable terms possible, and
two copies thereof forwarded immediately to the Adjutant-General
for approval. The rent will be paid from recruiting funds.
1204. When subsistence cannot be issued by the commissariat to
recruiting parties it will be procured by the officer in charge on writ-
ten contracts, when practicable, for complete rations. If the ration
cannot be procured thus, then a contract will be made for board and
lodging.a
1205. The contractor will send, monthly or quarterly, as he m&
choose, his account for rations issued to the Commissary-General for
payment, accompanied by the abstract of issues certified by the
officer. In case the officer makes the payment himself he will retain
this abstract to accompany his voucher therefor.
1206. When convenience and economy require that the contract
shall be for board and lodging, the contract shall state the amount
for each separately. The contractor will be paid for board as pre-
scribed in paragraph 1205 for rations, and for lodging by the recruit-
ing officer from recruiting funds.
a The aggregate cost of board and lodging should never exceed 40 cents; as a general thing,
experience has indicated that it should be less.918
