The decision of the commanding officer\nwill be final as to whether such property has salable value.\nWhen the disposition of unserviceable articles is covered by specific instruc-\ntions of any of the supply departments, they will be disposed of in accordance\nwith such instructions in lieu of being destroyed under the provisions of this\nparagraph, but requests for specific instructions will not be submitted in in-\ndividual cases instead of placing the property before a surveying officer or\ninspector.\nBefore ordering the destruction of property or stores under the provisions of\nthis paragraph the commanding officer will personally inspect the same and will\nbe held responsible that the conditions justify the action. In case the invoice\nvalue of the stores involved exceeds $500, the approval of the next higher ad-\nministrative commander will be obtained before destruction of the property,\nas provided in paragraph 719. A certificate of the witnessing officer that the\nproperty has been destroyed as authorized will be appended to the report.\n(C. A. R. No. 56, May 10, 1917.)\n[2474891 B-A. G. o.]\n1086.

Means of transportation provided as a part of the equipment \"\nof a unit will be accounted for by the unit supply officer, if there be one,\notherwise, by the supply officer, but in garrison will be used under the in-\nstruction of the commanding officer by the quartermaster of the post.\nCommanding officers will cause mounted organizations to be provided daily with\nthe proper facilities for policing stables and hauling forage.
