Treasury Department, OFFICE OF THE LIGHTHOUSE BOARD, Washington, 11 June, 1887.

Sir: The Comissioner of Customs has notified the Board of a disallowance made in your accounts because of a payment made to W.G. Emery, Second Assistant Keeper at Cape Foulweather, Oreg., prior to the date of his appointment, viz: Nov. 29, 1886. He holds that service under an appointment commences upon the day it is issued, unless some other day is specified in distinct terms. If the phrases "date of oath," or "date of going on duty" are used, he thinks they cannot refer to any acts that may have been performed prior to the date of the letter of appointment, but that they must be construed as relating to acts to occur after that date. In the present case the man may be considered as employed as a laborer for the time previous to appointment, in accordance with Par. 57, Regulations. To cover this time a certificate on Form 12 should be forwarded.

Very respectfully, [signature] Lieut. Uriel Sebree, U.S.N., Commander, U.S.N., Inspector 13th L.H. Distr., Portland, Oreg. Naval Secretary
