Signatures to subvouchers. — Fiscal Regulation No. 25 contains 

 explicit instructions regarding the signatures to subvouchers. 

 Care should be taken that all signatures conform to thes:; instruc- 

 tions. All signatures must be written in ink. The name of the 

 person signing the receipt must appear upon the receipt, and the 

 authority for signing must appear in the title, which must be 

 written by the signer below his name. Where a subvoucher is 

 signed by mark, one disinterested witness should sign the sub- 

 voucher and give his address. When a firm name or a hotel 

 name is signed to a subvoucher, the full name and title of the 

 person receiving the money must also be given. 



laundry. — With regard to the item of laundry in expense ac- 

 counts where parties are located for any length of time at a particu- 

 lar point, it is usually possible to make arrangements ]\v which 

 laundry may be done at a fixed price, usually about 50 cents j)er 

 week per person, and wherever this is practicable it should be done. 

 It will, however, happen that parties who are traveling or are mov- 

 ing their lieadquarters frequently will be unable to make arrange- 

 ments of this kind, and in such cases the expense for laundry will 

 necessarily exceed this amount; in no case, however, must the 

 charge for laundry exceed $4 per person per month, and expense 

 accounts containing charges in excess of this amount will be cor- 

 rected. While the Fiscal Regulations provide for a maximum of 

 $4 per month to cover laundry expenses of employees in the field, 

 this contemplates the reimbursement only of actual amounts ])aid, 

 and the items for laimdry must be inserted in the account on the 

 dates paid in actual amounts just the same as the other exi>enses.
