QuestionsQuestions (Act No. 2365)
Act No. 2365 authorizes a readjustment of the leave earned by Frank W. Carpenter during his service as Executive Secretary, specifically to allow payment of the portion of half-pay travel time that he voluntarily relinquished in 1910.
It concerns leave granted in 1910, and the readjustment is for allowing payment of that part of the half-pay travel time voluntarily relinquished by him in 1910.
Frank W. Carpenter.
The refund of money received by Frank W. Carpenter in commutation of accrued leave, half salary, and transportation to the United States.
The refund requirement was due to his appointment as Governor of the Moro Province.
It expressly waives the refund required under Section 27 of Act No. 1698, notwithstanding any provisions of Section 27 to the contrary.
It means the waiver in Act No. 2365 overrides or prevails over contrary provisions in Section 27 of Act No. 1698.
It acknowledges that even after receiving money in commutation (accrued leave, half salary, transportation to the U.S.), Carpenter’s later appointment as Governor of the Moro Province would have required a refund under Act No. 1698—but Act No. 2365 waives that refund.
Section 1 authorizes readjustment of leave (to pay the relinquished half-pay travel time portion). Section 2 expressly waives the refund of money previously received in commutation of accrued leave/half salary/transportation required due to his appointment as Governor of the Moro Province.
It refers to converting accrued benefits and related transportation entitlements into a money payment rather than receiving them in their original form, as provided under Act No. 1698.
It authorizes specific administrative/legal actions—readjustment of leave payment and waiver of refunds—without detailing an appropriation mechanism in the text provided.
It takes effect on its passage.
It states “By authority of the United States,” indicating the legislative context during the American colonial period.
February 28, 1914.
The act appears intended to correct or reconcile Carpenter’s leave/travel-related entitlements and commutation consequences with his later appointment, preventing repayment and enabling payment of a relinquished portion.
