correspond, and to be satisfactory in all respects, a receipt is given 

 for them, and they are added to the stock. Ordinarily, the inspec- 

 tion is made by the tool clerk ; but, in special cases, by the heads of 

 the branches of the work for which the material is particularly de- 

 signed, the head carpenter examining the lumber, etc. 



Tools and materials required by foremen in the ordinary prose- 

 cution of the work, are supplied on their individual requisition. 

 Supplies so furnished are charged directly to the foreman. An in- 

 ventory of the stock held by each foreman is taken every two weeks, 

 and compared with the tool clerk's account, and the foreman is charged 

 with the value of any deficiency, the amount being deducted from his 

 wages. 



Lumber, timber, bricks, and other materials used in construction, 

 are issued on an order from a responsible officer of the park only, 

 and are charged directly to the branch of the work in which they are 

 to be used. An accurate account of their disposition is kept by one 

 of the assistant engineers. 



Respectfully submitted, 



JNO. Y. CULYER, 



Assistant Engineer in charge.
