WAR DEPARTMENT, 
Adjutant General's Office, 
Washington, June 25, 1863. 
Hereafter, when public property is presented to an Inspector for 
condemnation, the officer responsible will certify, on the Inventory, 
that the property had not been previously condemned. The Inspector 
will mark the letters I. C. (Inspected—Condemned) upon all property 
condemned and ordered to be dropped from the returns, with a brand, 
stencil, cold chisel, steel cutter, or punch, depending upon the mate- 
rial to be marked. Should it happen, when final action is had, that 
the Inspector’s recommendation is disapproved, the marks will be 
cancelled, and a certificate of the fact will be given to the officer 
accountable. 
By order of the Secretary of War: 
E. D. TOWNSEND, 
Assistant Adjutant General.
