Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Acting Superintendent of the Yellowstone National Park to the Secretary of the Interior, 1896 As it is not probable that I shall remain here long enough to receive benefit from next year's appropriations, I do not consider it indelicate to recommend that an extra allowance be made to the superintendent of the park. This principle was recognized many years ago in the extra rations given to post commanders, and especially at certain posts where the burden of entertaining was great. More recently it has been recognized by extra rank, pay, or allowances given to certain officers stationed at West Point, the Military Prison, and at the Carlisle Indian School. Last year the adjutant-general of the Army made such a recommendation in his annual report, but no further notice was taken of it. The superintendent here has letters of introduction sent him by the hundreds, and the smallest measure of hospitality requires the expenditure of his entire pay in very meager entertaining. There is no station in the Army where so much is expected of an officer, and I trust you will call attention to the necessity for some relief.
