You are advised that the numerical symbol printed op- 
posite your name above has been assigned to designate your

ing used to make charges against tho balance to your official 
credit., it is essential that tne proper symbol number appear 
on each check. Should you have occasion to use checks on 
which your number has not been printed or checks bearing the 
number of another disbursing officer, you are requested to 
inse t your own number in the lower right-hand corner of each 
check drawn by jou, canceling any other symbol number that
