'| § Such local allowance, not
exceeding one-fifth of the

caeh case by Government.
The allowance should be
given only to officers whose
additional plague work, such
as that of medical inspection
of passengers by road or
railway, is entirely separate
from, and outside the sphere
of, their ordinary duties and
not to officers whose ordinary
and legitimate work, such as
that of attending on the sick
in hospital, has been in-
creased" owing to the ocour-
J rence of plague.
Allowance of 26 per cent, of the
pay -|- Es. 30 fixed travelling
allowance -f- Rs. 16 horse allow-
ance, provided the permanent
pay -f- 25 per cent, thereof
does not fall below Es. 80.
* This allowance will be admissible irrespective of the fact whether the hospital
assistant was in receipt of a charge allowance, or not at the time of his deputation to
plague duty. No separate allowance will, however, be paid in lieu of charge allowance
nor can deputation allowance be drawn in addition.
t An allowance of one-thirtieth of a month's pay may be dra\vn by a port health
officer for every day certified by the port officer to be a day of bad weather on which he
is unavoidably required "to inspect a vessel in connection with plague. In the case of the
port of Madras this allowance maybe drawn only in case of inspection of vessels lying
outside the Madras harbour. A double allowance, two-thirtieths, may be drawn by a
port health officer when he is required to make this inspection involving special risk
on a Sunday or close holiday, but in no case shall any port health officer draw any
additional allowance whatever may be the number of inspections rnado by him on that day.

§ When the out-door plague work of a medical subordinate is so heavy as to necessi-
tate the use of a conveyance, carts or j.utkas may be provided for him by the local body
concerned. The actual charges incurred in the payment of hire should be debited to
