				  authorized and commenced prior to June 1, 1969 nor in excess of $800 for a move
				  commenced on or after June 1, 1969 if the appointee's place of residence at the

				basic cost of moving household goods and personal effects from the appointee's
				residence at the time of initial appointment to the residence located near the
				new place of employment, provided that the mover used a carrier authorized by
				the New York State Public Service Commission or the Interstate Commerce
				Commission to perform such service. The basic cost of moving shall mean the
				cost of loading, transporting and unloading household goods and personal

				Reimbursement for approved expenditures shall not be more than that applicable
				under the tariff schedules filed with the regulatory agency by the carrier
				chosen by the appointee, or under the Joint Movers Tariff filed with the Public
				Service Commission, whichever is less, released in all cases to the lowest
				valuation. If insurance above the lowest released valuation is carried, the
				cost of such insurance shall be borne by the appointee.

				commercial establishments provided the claim is accompanied by three
				competitive bids. Reimbursement shall be made at the rates proposed in the
				lowest bid.
