Such allowance shall be a sum equal to the amount of salary or wages lost by the witness for the day or days of attendance at the inquiry; or, if the witness is not in receipt of salary or wages, a sum which in the opinion of the Chief Officer would be proper payment, taking into consideration the occupation of the witness, and the time lost in attendance.
