General Instructions.

District or other authorized authority. All items of expenditure for sums of 5s. and over must be accompanied by receipted accounts. In all cases a day means a day of twenty-four hours.

  2. Every care must be taken that the expenditure under the head of travelling-allowance is kept down to the lowest possible limit, and Officers Commanding Districts are held responsible that the least possible expenditure is entailed by those under their command in the performance of their duties.

  3. No officer shall proceed on any duty without first informing the head of his department or commanding officer, and such head of department or commanding officer, before granting permission, shall satisfy himself that the travelling is necessary. If, through the exigency of the service, it is not practicable to obtain the permission of the head of the department or commanding officer, the circumstances should be at once reported in writing, or verbally if the officer travelling returns within twenty-four hours.

  4. All persons on first taking up appointments must join at their own cost ; no travelling or other expense will be allowed for themselves, wives, or families. A special agreement may, however, be made by the authority of the Minister, if the person joining comes from outside the Dominion, or in cases of persons proceeding from one Island to another.

  5. In all cases where military or Government transport is available it must be utilized.

  6. Any case not coming within the above should be submitted to Headquarters for a special ruling.
