SERVICE ORDER 30 



JUNE 23, 1909 

 FREIGHT AND EXPRESS CHARGES. 



(Supplements sec. 145 of the Green Book as revised in Service Order No. 27.) 



Beginning July 1, 1909 fc freight and express will be charged against individual letters 

 of authorization to Supervisors, Chiefs of Maintenance, the Property Clerk, the Pur- 

 chasing Agent, and other members of the Service, instead of against a special allotment 

 for freight and express, as heretofore. 



Freight shipments should always be made upon a Department bill of lading. The 

 charge must be ascertained when the shipment is forwarded, and entered upon the 

 memorandum bill of lading (Form M). The charge will then be recorded in precisely 

 the same manner as the coupon of a transportation request. Form M will be sent 

 immediately to the District Fiscal Agent, who will enter it upon Form 17 (Treasury 

 settlement sheet), and forward the Form M to the Forester. (This waives instruc- 

 tions in Paragraph 5 on the back of the bill of lading, Form L.) The District Fiscal 

 Agent will be notified through the Forester of the amount actually paid by the Treas- 

 ury. If the amount paid differs from the amount entered upon Form M, the District 

 Fiscal Agent, after making the proper entries, will notify the member concerned, who 

 in turn will make the necessary correction upon his records. 



The charges for express shipments will be paid when practicable by the member 

 concerned,and included in his reimbursement account for the month, supported by the 

 regular receipt from the company showing rate, weight, starting point, and destina- 

 tion. When the amount is $5 or more, the shipment will be made on Department bill 

 of lading under the procedure outlined for shipments by freight. 



When shipment by freight or express is on account of permanent improvement or 

 cooperative work, the charge should be paid from these appropriations.
