Appropriations which in terms are for one year can not be used for payment of expenses not incurred in the year. Money can not be taken by counter requisition to settle old accounts. (Op., XIII, 289, July 27, 1870, Akerman.) Note 3.-The Secretary of the Navy can draw on the contingent fund for purposes of a contingent character-that is, such as might or might not happen, and which Congress could not easily foresee, and therefore could not provide for definitely. (Op., I, 302, Wirt.)

The words "Contingent expenses," as used in the appropriation acts, mean such incidental, casual expenses as are necessary, or at least appropriate and convenient, in order to the performance of the duties required by law of the Department or the office for which the appropriation is made. (Op., XVI, 412, Devens, Dec. 19, 1879.) The appropriations for Contingent of the bureaus (Civil)" are merged with that for the Secretary's Office by legislative act approved March 3, 1883.

Damages occasioned by collision in which a naval vessel is at fault, even when occurring in foreign waters, are not a proper charge against the contingent fund or any other regular appropriation. Special authority of Congress must be obtained before payments on such account will be allowed by the accounting officers.

Note 4.-Section 3678 extends only to such cases as relate to "proceeds of sales' receipts which are in the nature of revenue belonging to no appropriation, and not available for expenditure without authority from Congress. It does not prohibit one Department from supplying articles to another, and the transfer of appropriations to make reimbursements. (Op., Dec. 20, 1882, Brewster.)

Section 3678 makes unlawful the diversion of funds appropriated for one object of expenditure to another object of expenditure, and forbids an appropriation for any purpose to be thus enlarged beyond the amount thereof, as fixed by Congress. The furnishing of articles by one Department to another, and subsequent reimbursements by transfer of appropriation, not a diversion or an enlargement contemplated by this section. (Op., Dec. 20, 1882, Brewster.)
