Now. in this Coast and Geodetic Survey what do we find? We find the money allowed for commutation is less than in any other service. For instance. the census examiners that go out get $3 per day in lieu of subsistence. in the Immigration Bureau they get $3.50 in lieu of subsistence: in the Bureau of Corporations they get $4 per day in lieu of subsistence. while in the Coast and Geodetic Survey they get the "top notch" of $2.50 per day. The gentleman complains that not enough of these gentlemen are getting this money in lieu of subsistence. The head of the Coast and Geodetic Survey seems to be a very careful manand only 20 per cent of those that go into the field are allowed this additional money.
