* Rs. 10 a month. This allow-
ance will be in addition to
house-rent or free quarters
according to rule if employed
on the plains. If employed on
the hills, a consolidated hill
allowance of one-third of the
pay will be paid, but no house-
rent or warm clothing allow-
ance will be admissible. A
pony allowance of Rs. 15 per
mensem will be paid if the sub-
assistant surgeon has other
than purely stationary duties,
provided a serviceable pony is
maintained and used. If
instead of a pony a serviceable
bicycle is maintained and used
with the permission of the
Collector, a bicycle allowance of
Rs. 5 per mensem will be
paid.
§ Such local allowance, not
exceeding one-fifth of the
salary, as may be fixed in
each 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 increas-
ed owing to the occurrence of
plague.
* This allowance will be admissible irrespective of the fact whether the sub-
assistant surgeon was in receipt of a charge allowance or not at the time of his depu-
tation to plague duty. No separate allowance will, however, be paid in lieu of charge
allowance nor can deputation allowance be drawn in addition.
† An allowance of one-thirtieth of a month's pay may be drawn 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 may be 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 addi-
tional allowance whatever may be the number of inspections made by him on that day.
‡ See note † on page 47.
§ When the out-door plague work of a medical subordinate is so heavy as to
necessitate the use of a conveyance, carts or jutkas may he provided for him by thé local
body concerned. The actual charges incurred in the payment of hire should be
debited to "Contingencies."
