in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice
The Secretary of the Interior, acting under the President's direction, must stop using agents, subagents, interpreters, and mechanics whose services become unnecessary. This can happen because Indians move elsewhere or for other reasons.
This section directs a reduction in Indian-affairs staffing. The Secretary of the Interior, acting under the direction of the President, must cause the services of agents, subagents, interpreters, and mechanics to be discontinued once they become unnecessary from time to time.
The section identifies one cause specifically — the emigration of the Indians, meaning tribes moving away from where these staff served — but also allows discontinuance for other causes.
