Note.-No provision was made in the act of 2d March, 1833, for
the increased pay which it authorizes, and it was too late in the ses-
sion for the department to obtain the passage of a special act
making an appropriation. The amount required for 1833 is added
to the estimates for 1834, as an arrearage.

The item for travelling allowances to disbanded rangers, is the
amount paid by the department over what was estimated for, in
consequence of their serving out the whole period of enlist-
ment, and being then discharged at a great distance from the places
of enlistment.

For double or extra rations to officers commanding
departments, posts, &c.

Note.--The actual expenditure on account of double rations will
depend on the rank of commanding officers, and the number who
may receive the allowance. This estimate is founded on the pre-
sent distribution of the army.
