46. Issues of the stores above specified will be made by the Chief or Ordnance to any selected institution upon its filing a bond in the penal sum of double the value of the property, conditioned that it will fully insure against loss by fire, take good care of, and safely keep and account for the same, and will, when required by the Secretary of War, duly return the same, within 30 days, in good order to the Chief of Ordnance, United States Army, or such other officer or person as the Secretary of War may designate to receive them.

targets and target supplies are authorized, subject to the following rules, for educational institutions at which officers of the Army are detailed as professors of military science and tactics and for land-grant colleges having arms supplied by the Ordnance Department, and will not exceed $30,000 in the aggregate for the one hundred such institutions:

The following maximum allowances for each student are prescribed for institutions at which practice is held as indicated

(1) Forty rounds of rifle ball cartridges for each range, but not to exceed 120 rounds.

(2) Sixty rounds of .22 caliber rifle ball cartridges where gallery practice is held in addition to range practice.

(3) One hundred and twenty rounds of .22 caliber ball cartridges where gallery practice is held and no rifle ball cartridges are to be supplied during the fiscal year.

(4) Ten rounds of rifle blank cartridges.

(5) For any institution, such targets and target supplies as may be desired, but such issue will be made only in lieu of a corresponding monetary reduction of the ammunition allowance as determined for that institution.

The issue of one kind of ammunition in lieu of another kind is not authorized.

No credit will be given for fired shells, empty ammunition boxes, etc.

Any additional ammunition needed must be procured by colleges at their own expense from private manufacturers.

49. The allowances of ammunition, and the targets, target supplies, and dummy cartridges, which can be drawn in lieu of rifle ball or gallery practice ammunition, will be issued on requisitions certified to by the professor of military science and tactics, or in his absence by the president of the institution, who will specify the actual facilities for gallery and range practice, the time allotted by the institution, and the number of students enrolled in the military department to whom opportunity is afforded by the authorities of the institution to participate in gallery or range practice, or both.

As annual allowances date in all cases from July 1 of each year, requisitions should be forwarded before or as soon after that date as practicable for the current year's supply. Undrawn allowances of one year can not be drawn in the succeeding year.

50. All ordnance and ordnance stores issued to colleges must be kept insured against loss by fire for the benefit of the United States by the college authorities for their full invoice value, as shown in the bond, and the Chief of Ordnance promptly informed when and where the insurance is placed, and date of expiration.

51. The transportation of ordnance and ordnance stores from the Government arsenals to institutions of learning and from institutions of learning back to Government arsenals is always without expense to the United States.

52. The colleges to which issues of ordnance and ordnance stores are made, under bonds given as required by law, will be required to keep said property in like good and serviceable condition as when issued by the Government, and for this purpose the spare parts, implements, appendages, and cleaning materials necessary will be sold to them at cost prices.

The sales authorized above of spare parts and appendages for small arms will be made by the commanding officer of the Rock Island Arsenal, Rock Island, Ill., or of the Springfield Armory, Springfield, Mass., and in case of other stores by the commanding officer of the Rock Island Arsenal, Rock Island, Ill. Application will be made to these officers by the president of the educational institution desiring the articles for the maintenance of the ordnance stores issued to them and should state that they are for this purpose. These sales are to be made under the provisions of the act of Congress approved May 11, 1908.

53. When ordnance and ordnance stores are returned to the Ordnance Department by any institution of learning, they will be carefully examined when received at the arsenal, and if they are found imperfect or unserviceable by reason of carelessness or causes other than legitimate use in service, the damage will have to be made good to the United States.

54. The cost of all missing property must be made good to the United States.

55. Ordnance stores which become unfit for use from any cause will, upon application of the president of the institution and the approval of the Chief of Ordnance, be sent to an arsenal without expense to the United States; provided, however, that in case of stores having become unfit for use through ordinary wear and tear in service, and not being worth shipment

21

to an arsenal, the president of the institution may submit them to the inspector at any annual inspection, who, if satisfied of their unfitness for use and that such unfitness resulted from ordinary wear and tear in service, shall cause their destruction in his presence. If upon submission of the stores to the inspector he shall determine that their unfitness resulted from causes other than ordinary wear and tear, he will not proceed with the inspection nor direct their destruction, but action shall be taken as first above provided. Ordnance stores upon reaching an arsenal will be inspected by an officer of the Ordnance Department, and if their condition is found to be due to the ordinary incidents of service they may be replaced with serviceable stores of like character; but if their condition is found to be due to carelessness or other than legitimate causes the extent of damage or value of missing stores will be determined by the Chief of Ordnance and must be paid by the institution before any new issue of stores is made. Ordnance stores destroyed by direction of an inspector may also be replaced with serviceable stores of like character.

56. The guns and carriages must not be allowed to remain out of doors with only the paulins as a protection from the weather, but they must be housed in a suitable building and habitually kept there except when used for drills or saluting purposes.

57. Regular property returns will be rendered semiannually to the Chief of Ordnance by each president or superintendent of an institution supplied with arms, etc., accounting for all ordnance and ordnance stores issued to the institution under his charge. These returns will be made on the blank forms to be supplied by the Chief of Ordnance.

58. Failure on the part of any institution of learning to comply with the foregoing regulations, or any others that may be prescribed by the Chief of Ordnance for the care, preservation, or accountability of any ordnance or ordnance stores issued to it by the United States, will be considered sufficient cause for the prompt withdrawal by the Secretary of War of the Government property in its possession.

59. Whenever any institution shall fail to return the public property in its charge within 30 days after demand made by the Secretary of War, the delinquency will be peremptorily referred to the Attorney General that the bond of the institution may forthwith be put in suit.
