diverted from other objects by attending to the details,
which will arise in the management of those establishments,
a superintending Agent shall be appointed, who shall receive
the directions of the different Boards, and correspond with
the local Agents.--He shall moreover be the _Receiver
General of the monthly remittances_, and shall immediately
pay the same as directed by the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty.--It will be his duty to arrange the shipping of
Old Stores from the different Yards, in conformity to the
wants or demands of the respective Agents, so as to keep up
their several assortments, by conveying to each not only
such articles, (as far as it can be done) as are most in
demand, but also such as comparatively fetch the best
price.--He shall receive the monthly and yearly accounts,
and lay an abstract of the same before the Lords of the
Admiralty, and the Navy and Victualing Board respectively,
as they apply to their different departments, and shall be
the general medium of communication from the respective
Boards to the local Agents.--The superintending Agent shall
transmit a regular invoice to the local Agents of all goods
shipped:--Shall keep regular books and accounts of all
transactions under his charge, and shall receive for his
trouble _1 per cent._ on the Remittances or Payments which
he may make, under the directions of the Lords of the
Admiralty.
