Where in. the opinion of the Minister the minimum salary of any grade would not be adequate remuneration for any member or class of members on first entering the grade he may assign to such member or class of members a minimum salary at any higher subdivision of the grade.

When public quarters are allotted to a member of the Ordnance Department or Rifle Range Services, a deduction of one-tenth shall be made from his pay.”
