   (i.) 7s. 6d. for each day on which the organizing teacher uses his own or the Board’s horse for transit purposes, and, in addition, actual cost of fodder when the horse is necessarily away from headquarters:

   Provided that a yearly allowance for use of horse, bicycle, or motor-car may, at the discretion of the Director, be granted in lieu of allowances herein specified.
   (2.) An organizing teacher may return to headquarters each evening provided that his claim for expenses and allowances is not thereby increased, and that in the opinion of the Senior Inspector the efficiency of his work is not interfered with.
   (3.) The headquarters of an organizing teacher may, with the approval of the Director, be changed by the Board, in which case removal expenses similar to those provided by regulations in the case of other teachers will be paid by the Department.
