The last sentence of this section is from a provision accompanying

of the Act of March third, eighteen hundred and ninety-nine, as provides
that the members of the California Debris Commission shall receive only
actual expenses in lieu of mileage while traveling on duty is hereby
repealed, and hereafter the officers of the commission shall receive the
mileage allowed by law.''
Act Mar. 3, 1899, ch. 424, Sec. 1, 30 Stat. 1109, mentioned in said
provision, provided that the officers of the Commission traveling on
duty might be paid their actual traveling expenses, in lieu of mileage
