1068. An allowance, at a rate to be determined from time to
      time by the Minister, is payable to married linemen while in
      camp and away from home, except when they are travelling, when
      they will be paid the usual travelling-allowance.

1069. All officers who are authorized to receive advances must
      be treated as sub-accounting officers until they produce cash and
      vouchers on their return. They must not be made permanent
      sub-accounting officers with a running account, but must discharge
      each advance when the journey for which it is made has been
      completed.

1070. With the object of encouraging the detection of persons
      who are guilty of wilful damage to telegraph insulators or lines
      by stone-throwing or other means, the Department will pay the
      local police officer a gratuity of £2 2s. for each conviction obtained
      through his efforts.

1071. Telegraph Engineers, and other officers concerned, will
      follow the instructions here given with respect to material consigned
      to them by rail for use on railway-construction:

 (a.) All material for railway-construction must be consigned as
     "on service," the consignment-note showing on its face to
     whom the way-bill should be sent.

 (b.) Way-bills must be certified as correct by the Telegraph
     Engineer under whose supervision the work is being
     done. Way-bills must also show on the face the railway
     authority and nature of work on which railage is
     charged.

 (c.) Way-bills, after being dealt with as stated in paragraph (b),
     are to be sent to the railway official on whose authority
     the work was put in hand.

 (d.) Way-bills dealt with as stated above are not to be treated
     as vouchers for expenditure incurred by the Post and
     Telegraph Department, consequently the particulars are
     not to be given in forms Acot. 304 and 235.
