Present:
THE HONOURABLE SIR P. A. BUCKLEY, K.C.M.G.,
PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

IN pursuance and exercise of the power and authority
contained in section nine, subsection five, of “The
Government Railways Act, 1894,” and of all other powers
and authorities enabling him in that behalf, His Excellency
the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, acting by and
with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the
said colony, doth hereby make the regulations set forth in
the Schedule hereto.

SCHEDULE.

REGULATIONS.

SUBJECT as hereinafter mentioned, the travelling-allowance
for personal expenses of railway employés in the permanent
employment of the Railway Department shall be, for—

1. The General Manager, Assistant General Manager,
   Under-Secretary, Chief Engineer for Working Railways, and
   Locomotive Superintendent, 15s. a day.
2. Other officers, not otherwise specified herein, 10s. a day
   for officers receiving salaries not exceeding £400 per annum,
   and 12s. 6d. a day for officers receiving salaries exceeding
   £400 per annum.
3. Locomotive and Engineering Foremen and Inspectors,
   10s. a day.
4. Relieving Clerks, 10s. a day for the first three days,
   and 7s. 6d. a day for each additional day.
5. Bridge Inspectors, 7s. 6d. a day.
6. Cadets, actual expenses, supported by vouchers.

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 receipts for these items need not be produced unless
required.

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

In addition to the foregoing allowances for personal ex-
penses, the 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 10s., and vouchers for railway-fares will not be required
if the railway travelled upon and the extent of the journey
is stated.

For all days at sea after the first day, the allowance for
personal expenses shall for all officers be 2s. 6d. only. For
the first day at sea the ordinary allowance may be drawn.

ALEX. WILLIS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
