Amended Regulations for Civil Service Travelling Allow-
ances and Hours of Attendance.

Wm. F. DRUMMOND JERVOIS, Governor,
By his Deputy,
JAMES PRENDERGAST.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred by
"The Civil Service Act, 1866," and its amendments,
and of all other powers and authorities vested in me in that
behalf, I, James Prendergast, for and on behalf of His
Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand,
and as his duly-appointed Deputy, do hereby make the
following regulations respecting the travelling allowances
of officers in the Civil Service of New Zealand, and the
hours of attendance, and do direct that the same shall come
into force on the first day of February next ensuing.

REGULATIONS.

For Travelling Allowances.

1. All salaried officers, except as hereinafter provided, shall
   receive travelling allowance for personal expenses at the
   daily rate of ten shillings for officers receiving salaries not
   exceeding four hundred pounds per annum, and twelve
   shillings and sixpence for all other officers.

2. These allowances shall be paid only where an officer is
   necessarily absent from his head-quarters at night; but, for
   all journeys where an officer is not obliged to be absent at
   night, actual expenses will be paid to an amount in no case
   exceeding the full daily rate above authorised for personal
   expenses, on production of a statement giving details of the
   nature of the charges, with dates, places, and to whom paid,
   but without being obliged to produce receipts.

3. The above regulations shall not apply to cases in which
   a temporarily higher rate shall be specially sanctioned by
   a Minister; nor shall anything in these regulations pre-
   clude Ministers from specially authorising temporary special
   rates or amounts for travelling, to meet special cases, as
   hitherto.

4. Cost of transport by land or sea will be paid by the
   Government, or, when paid by the officer travelling, the same
   will be recouped to him on production of vouchers; but no
   vouchers for such expenses will be required for sums of less
   than ten shillings, and vouchers for railway fares will not be
   required if the railway travelled upon and the extent of
   journey is stated.

5. For all days at sea, after the first day, an allowance of
   only two shillings and sixpence per diem to be given. For
   the first day at sea, the ordinary allowance may be drawn.

For Hours of Attendance.

6. The hours of attendance for officers of the Civil Service
   will be from nine o'clock a.m. to one o'clock p.m., and from
