93. In cases in which these allowances amount to more than the cost by ordinary means of conveyance, they may be drawn, if approved by the G.O. i/c A. on either of the following grounds:—
    (a.) That the employment of the motor vehicle enabled duties to be carried out which could not have been satisfactorily performed by other means.
