Interior reverses salary distribution at Freedmen Hospital
Comptroller Tracewell told Commissioners that Interior Department revoked approval for distributing salaries of the second assistant surgeon and assistant clerk at Freedmen's Hospital among other staff. Payrolls held since August 1 will be returned for proper deductions. The action confirms the District's stance that dividing salaries was improper and will reduce pay for those who benefited, including those previously billed for the position.
