Summary
Money from any appropriation that buys supplies for the Indian Service can be moved into a Treasury account called the Indian Service supply fund to pay for items bought through Indian warehouses. The Secretary of the Interior decides how much is needed, and later the books are adjusted so each original appropriation is charged only for the supplies it should cover.
