This law lets the Interior Secretary give housing, fuel, and light to certain Indian Service employees. It applies to employees whose pay isn't set by law elsewhere. This authority also covers past spending the Secretary approved before June 7, 1924.

This section lets the Secretary of the Interior provide housing benefits to certain Indian Service employees. At the Secretary's discretion, employees of the Indian Service whose compensation is not otherwise set by law can receive quarters (housing), fuel, and light. Their salaries are set with this benefit in mind. The cost of providing this housing, fuel, and light is paid from whatever funds are available and applicable for that purpose. The law is also retroactive in a limited way: it approves any spending for this purpose that the Secretary of the Interior had already authorized before June 7, 1924.
