DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS AND DISBURSEMENTS. 



693 



"Seacoast telegraph line receipts" are covered into the Treasury 

 under act of March 3, 1883. (22 Stat. L., 616.) 



In acknowledgment of each deposit of funds the Treasurer issues 

 to the depositor a duj^licate certificate of deposit. The number of 

 this certificate is entered as part of the transaction, and the certificate 

 is filed in this division. 



These moneys are forwarded to the Division of Accounts and Dis- 

 bursements from the various bureaus, divisions, and offices of the 

 department, accompanied by a letter or specially printed form, in 

 duplicate, explaining whence the money was derived. The dupli- 

 cate is receipted by the chief of this division and returned to the 

 sender. The original is ])laccd in the fdes of this division as a voucher. 

 The amount received is entered in a book, with a description of the 

 transaction copied from the letter of transmittal. If in the form of 

 cash or postal money order, it is so stated in the entry, and if by 

 check or draft a minute description is given, with name of payer, 



{)ayee, indorser, name of bank, number and date of check, etc. The 

 aw requires that money so received shall be deposited in the Treas- 

 ury within 30 days after its receipt by a Government oliicer. The 

 practice in this office is to deposit all sums as soon as practicable 

 after they are received unless of an insignificant amount. The chief 

 of this division, having no authority to do otherwise, accepts the 

 statements accompanying sums of money submitted to him, assum- 

 ing them to be in strict accordance with the facts.
