Syllabus

<p>Where there is no specific provision in the appropriation for government work and there is no intention of the department in which a Government employé is employed to call upon him to fill another separate and distinct office, his designation by the head of his de- • partment to do certain work for' another department does not entitle him to extra compensation; and, under § 1765, Rev. Stat., he cannot be allowed extra compensation therefor, even though the services be of value to the Government, are rendered out of hours, and are in addition to the full performance of his regular employment.</p> <p>41 C. Cl. 357, affirmed.</p>
