No. 45. ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, Washington, December 10, 1901. The attention of officers accountable for fortification and submarine mining property at artillery posts is called to the following rules of the Engineer Department governing the disposition of such property: No items of property are considered expendable except those that have become fixtures, being permanently built into the work, or those that have actually lost their identity by use. The first class comprises electric wire circuits, junction boxes, underground and interior conduits, pipe lines, speaking tubes, tracks, trolley rails, etc. The second class comprises acids, cotton waste, emery paper, glue, oil, mercury, paint, paraffin, insulating tape, resin, solder, tallow, varnish, lamps, fuses, etc. Items of the first class may be disposed of on the returns by stating clearly in the proper columns the exact manner of their disposition or expenditure. Items of the second class actually expended may be disposed of on the returns in the same manner as "expended in construction, operation, or repair of plant.” In case a doubt exists as to whether certain articles are expendable under the above classification a certificate covering the expenditure of the property will be submitted as required by paragraph 764 of the Regulations, the items being accounted for on the returns until action has been taken by the Secretary of War. Care should be exercised to report all transactions in the proper columns. Officers will not expend or drop as expended from their property returns machinery or appliances installed as part of any emplacement, battery, or power plant. This applies to all machinery and appliances, whether in permanent positions, such as boilers, engines, dynamos, switchboards complete, pumps, motors, controllers, switches, lamp fixtures, storage batteries, electric fans, transformers, telephones, etc., or whether they are movable like trolleys, differential pulleys, tools, portable ammeters and voltmeters, testing sets, thermometers, indicators, tachometers, hose, etc. These articles as well as expendable articles will be taken up and accounted for on the property returns and when transferred will be transferred on regular invoices and receipts.
