No officer shall accept or continue to hold the office of Mayor,
President, or Chairman of the Council or Board of any local authority
or Board of Education. If an officer holds or is appointed to or elected
to any office not forbidden by this regulation, and the Permanent
Head is of opinion that the duties of such office interfere with the
due and proper discharge of his duty as an officer of the Department,
the Permanent Head may call on him to resign such outside office.
Nothing herein contained shall, however, be deemed to prevent an
officer from becoming a member or shareholder only of any incorporated
company, or of any company or society of persons registered
under any Act.

Whenever any officer is required in the course of his duty
to perform any services for any person or corporation the fact shall
be reported to the Permanent Head, who shall decide what payment
shall be made by such person or corporation.

No fee, reward, or remuneration of any kind whatsoever
beyond his salary shall be received and kept for his own use by any
officer for the performance of any service for the Department, unless
specially authorized by the Permanent Head. All fees received by
officers attending in their official character under a subpoena or order
to give evidence or to produce papers in any Court shall be paid by
such officers into the Public Account; and such officers shall account
for all fees received by them for the performance of any such duty,
and shall transmit to the head of their branch an account and vouchers
of all the necessary expenses, if any, incurred by them in the performance
of such duty.

Officers who are supplied with quarters are required to reside
in them, unless specially exempted by the Permanent Head, and pay
such rental therefor as may be deemed equitable: Provided that in
special cases the payment of rent may be waived by the Permanent
Head.

Officers who rent departmental buildings are prohibited from
subletting any portion of them without the consent, in writing, of
the Permanent Head.

Every accident on duty must be immediately reported to the
head of the branch. In every case the senior controlling officer for the
time being is fully empowered to call in medical assistance. Every
accident must be reported as soon as possible, care being taken to
preserve all important facts in connection with the accident for
embodiment in the report. At every workshop a stock of first-aid
appliances and material must be provided and kept in accessible
positions, and such stock shall be regularly examined at intervals of
not more than three months to see that it is in a proper and serviceable
condition. This must be the special duty of the senior officer, and
a record must be kept of the result of such examination.

Junior officers are to be afforded every possible opportunity
of gaining a complete knowledge of the Department's activities, and
are to be encouraged to qualify for higher positions in the service.
They should not be kept for an unduly long period in any one position
or upon circumscribed duties. The progress of every junior officer
must be carefully watched.

Controlling officers shall, wherever practicable, keep specially
in view the question of providing an understudy for each position.
The duties of officers are to be changed when necessary, provided that
the efficiency of the office is not affected thereby.

Any person in the service of the Department will be required
to transfer from any locality to any other locality or from one branch
to another branch as circumstances may require and the Permanent
Head may direct. Any such person who for reasons unsatisfactory
to the Permanent Head refuses or neglects to comply with any order
directing him to so transfer shall be liable to dismissal or any lesser
penalty.

Officers who are transferred from one locality to another
solely at their own request, or by exchange (except as provided for
in the next regulation), or on account of misconduct, must bear the
whole cost of their removal, unless otherwise determined by the
Permanent Head prior to removal.

When an officer is transferred (a) in the public interest, (b) to
meet the convenience of the Department or at its discretion, or in the
ordinary course of promotion, the actual and reasonable cost of conveyance of such officer, his family, and his bona fide household furniture
and effects, will be paid by the Department. The cost of removing
