in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Indian agents and other disbursing officers can't get money advanced to them for future spending. First, they must settle their accounts from the year before. They must also show they're ready to pay back any balance the Secretary of the Interior orders.

No superintendent of Indian affairs, Indian agent, or other officer who disburses money in this service can be given a new advance of Indian or public money to spend in the future. Before getting that advance, the officer must first settle the accounts from the previous year. The officer must also satisfactorily show that any balance owed to the government is ready to be paid, whenever the Secretary of the Interior orders it paid.

No superintendent of Indian affairs, or Indian agent, or other disbursing officer in such service, shall have advanced to him, on Indian or public account, any money to be disbursed in future, until such superintendent, agent, or officer in such service has settled his accounts of the preceding year, and has satisfactorily shown that all balances in favor of the Government, which may appear to be in his hands, are ready to be paid over on the order of the Secretary of the Interior.
