Interior reverses pay cuts at Freedmen Hospital
Comptroller Tracewell told the Commissioners that Interior revoked approval for distributing salaries of the second assistant surgeon and the assistant clerk at Freedmen's Hospital among other staff, ending payroll holds since Aug 1. The District and Comptroller had criticized the split of salaries as improper, leading to restored payrolls and reduced pay for those who received portions of the $300 and the $1,000 salaries, with adjustments to reflect the correct allocations.
