TREASURY DEPARTMENT, STEAMBOAT-INSPECTION SERVICE, OFFICE OF THE SUPERVISING INSPECTOR-GENERAL, To supervising and local inspectors of steam vessels: As but a limited number of copies of this book have been printed, officers of the service are enjoined to preserve them in good order. Their attention is also called to the blank pages at the end of the volume, in which they will note the number and title of decisions that may appear in forthcoming numbers of the monthly synopsis of Treasury decisions. They should also there make notes of all amendments to the rules and regulations. By so doing they will save themselves much trouble in looking up references for their guidance. A careful study of the contents of the Manual will enable officers of the service to perform their duties uniformly and correctly, and with credit to the service. In all cases of doubt concerning the construction of the law, rules, or decisions contained herein, officers are invited to correspond freely with this office; local inspectors, through the medium of the supervising inspectors. Respectfully yours, JAS. A. DUMONT, Supervising Inspector-General. 3 |
