The Acting Chairman. State just what your duties are as purchasing agent of the railway company and as assistant purchasing agent of the Canal Commission, and the procedure you take in order to perform your duties.

They are subdivided into three different kinds. There is one requisition that is prepared by the commissary down there calling for commissary stores of various kinds.
