PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE PACKERS AND STOCKYARDS ACT, SEPTEMBER, 1931

Docket No. 351.-In re Flickinger & Smith, market agency and dealers, Lan- caster, Pa. On June 30, 1931, the Acting Secretary of Agriculture issued an inquiry alleging that respondents were insolvent in that they were unable to pay their debts as they became due in the usual course of business. On or about Julv 8, 1931, respondents acknowledged receipt of the inquiry and admitted the truth of the matters and things therein alleged and waived a hearing thereon. On , 1931, the Acting Secretary of Agriculture issued an order suspend- ing respondents from registration as a market agency and dealers for six months with leave, however, during said period to apply for revocation of this suspension upon satisfactory proof that the respondents are then solvent. Docket No. 357.-In re W. 0. Jennings, market agency, Union Stock Yards, Chicago, Ill. On , 1931, the Acting Secretary of Agriculture issued an inquiry, alleging that respondent had violated the act in that he had used a certain unfair, unjustly discriminatory, and deceptive practice and device in connection with the handling of livestock in commerce. On , 1931, respondent acknowledged service of the inquiry, admitted the truth of the matters and things therein alleged, and waived a hearing thereon. On , 1931, the Acting Secretary of Agriculture suspended respondent from registration as a market agency for a period of six months and ordered him to cease and desist from using the unfair and deceptive practice and device of rendering false and fictitious account sales or otherwise violating the act in the conduct of his business as a market agency. Docket No. 358.-In re James C. Cleveland, dealer, Cynthiana, Ky. On August 15, 1931, the Acting Secretary of Agriculture issued an inquiry alleging violation of the act in that respondent had failed to execute and maintain a reasonable bond to suitable trustees to secure the performance of his obligations incurred as a dealer. Evidence now in possession of the department indicates that the respondent had not operated at any of the stockyards named in the inquiry since he registered as a dealer under the packers and stockyards act and, therefore, has not violated the act by not giving bond. Accordingly, on Septem- ber 15, 1931, the case was dismissed. Docket No. 359.-In re Charles Hollar, dealer, Cynthiana, Ky. On August 15, 1931, the Acting Secretary of Agriculture issued an inquiry alleging that respon- dent had violated the act in that he had failed to execute and maintain a reason- able bond to suitable trustees to secure the performance of his obligations incurred as a dealer. On September 15, 1931, respondent acknowledged receipt of the inquiry, admitted the truth of the matters and things therein alleged, and waived a hearing thereon.

CALENDARS FOR 1932

Officers in charge and individuals reporting direct to Washington will please indicate in their stores requisitions for December 1 orders for the wall calendars that they will require for the year 1932. One wall calendar should be sufficient for each room occupied as office or laboratory, and orders should be for the minimum number. The bureau has discontinued the purchase of desk-calendar pads and stands for field stations. However, stations now equipped with such stands may procure pads for the same for 1932 by ordering on their stores requisitions for December 1 the number required, indicating the make of the stand for which intended-that is, whether Gem, Handy, Daily, etc. These calendars and pads may not be forwarded with the other supplies ordered on such requisitions, but an effort will be made to get them to the stations before the first of the new year. In this connection attention is called to the notice headed "Advertising matter not allowed in Government offices," in Service and Regulatory Announcements for November, 1915, page 127.

PAYMENT OF CLAIMS UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE

Attention is invited to the following quotation from a letter from the General Accounting Office dated , 1931: Payment of more than one invoice on one voucher, if under different conditions of purchase as to method of advertising, etc., or under more than one contract, is not in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4, General Regulations, No. 51 (5 Comp. Gen. 1059) and should be discontinued. Each voucher should cover items purchased under a single contract or a single method of purchase only, and contractors should be instructed to render invoices accordingly. As an illustration of the meaning of the above quotation, it may be stated that claim for the purchase of supplies under a contract should not be submitted on the same voucher as a claim for purchases in the open market, even though the purchases were made from the same dealer. Or claim for the storage of an auto- mobile under an agreement should not appear on the same voucher as a claim for repairs or supplies for the auto. Failure to observe these instructions will necessitate returning vouchers.
