The Government has therefore once paid the amount of this bond to the party apparently entitled to it.
I regret that I am constrained to disapprove an important appropriation bill so near the close of the present session of Congress.
No modification of the existing regulations shall be made without the approval of the Civil Service Commission.
This bill is in many of its features far removed from a legitimate deficiency bill, and it contains a number of appropriations which seem to me to be exceedingly questionable.
