2. The funds of one department must not be used to liquidate the debts of another.

3. If an officer's station is changed, o r he be temporarily relieved from recruiting duties, his money accounts will not be closed; they will be kept open till the end of the quarter, so that all money received and disbursed in the quarter may be embraced in one account.
