AMENDMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE REGULATIONS Nos. 168 AND 169.

Part V.—District Allowances.

168. The following shall be the scale of allowances which may be paid to officers living in localities where the climatic conditions are severe, or where the cost of living is exceptionally high:—

Scale	Ratio of Allowance to Salary.			Minimum	Maximum
	On first £100 or Portion thereof	On Second £100 or Portion thereof	On Portion of Salary above £200
per cent.	per cent.	per cent.	£	£
I................	10	5	2½	5	20
II...............	15	7½	5	10	30
III..............	20	10	5	15	35
IV..............	25	12½	5	20	45
V...............	30	15	5	25	50
VI..............	40	20	5	30	..

Provided that in cases where, in computing on the above scale the annual amount of District Allowance, the result involves fractional parts of a pound up to and including Ten shillings, the nearest lesser amount in pounds shall be that allowed; where the fractional part exceeds Ten shillings, the nearest greater amount in pounds shall be allowed.

In localities where these allowances do not, in the opinion of the Permanent Head, fairly compensate the officer for extremely severe and costly conditions of living, the rates in the foregoing scale may be increased by the Commissioner, with the approval of the Governor-General.

169. The Commissioner, after report from the Inspector and the Permanent Head, and with the approval of the Governor-General, may raise or lower the classification of any district or locality, and may classify any locality where an allowance is not now granted, or may direct that any locality be removed from the classified list. The list of classified localities and all subsequent alterations therein will be published in the Commonwealth Gazette.
