NOTE. The salary of the Deputy Comptroller has been fixed at various amounts by different appropriation bills, as follows: Act March 3, 1875 (sundry civil bill), 18 Stat.

NOTE.-The Attorney General of the United States, in an opinion rendered June 19, 1908, said: "Generally speaking, a deputy has power to do every act which his principal may do and is not restricted to some particulars of his office. (Throop on Public Officers, sec. 583; Mechem's Public Officers, sec. 570; Erwin v. U. S., 37 Fed. Rep. 470.) Doubtless it was on account of this general rule, and with the intention that there should be no restriction, that Congress did not deem it necessary to prescribe specifically the duties of the additional Deputy Comptroller. There being no limitation or restriction upon the power of that officer, my opinion is that he would have the same authority as that conferred by statute upon the first deputy.

CLERKS.

Act June 3, 6. Sec. 328. The Comptroller of the Currency shall 13 employ, from time to time, the necessary clerks, to be Stat. L., 100. appointed and classified by the Secretary of the Treasury, to discharge such duties as the Comptroller shall direct.
