3. The conditions governing the care, custody, preparation, and signing
of Railway Warrants set forth in Appendix II. of the Consolidated Navy
Orders 1911-20 apply to Excess Luggage Warrants.
4. Attention is drawn to the necessity that a separate Excess Luggage
Warrant be supplied to the person travelling, corresponding with the railway
warrants necessary for the journey, e.g., a rating travelling from Crib Point
to Nowra would require to be issued with the following Warrants :—
and
^ ' TJI x w L !- Crib Point to Melbourne.
Jiixcess Luggage Warrant .. )
(ii) ditto. Melbourne to Sydney.
(iii) ditto. Sydney to Nowra.
5. Provision has been made on the new form for the insertion of the weight
of the luggage allowed to be carried at Departmental expense by the person
travelling, vide prescribed scale set forth in Financial Regulations (Sea-Going),
Article 22, Clause 1, and Naval Financial Regulations 74D. (This weight is
inclusive of the passenger allowance granted by Railway Department, viz.,
1 cwt. in respect of 1st class passengers, and 84 lbs. for 2nd class.)
Any weight in excess of the prescribed scale allowance referred to must
be paid for by the person travelling at the time of booking his luggage.
Where a member is travelling with his luggage, care must be taken to
see that the free passenger allowance, which is covered by his ticket, is granted,
otherwise he will render himself liable to refund any extra charge which may
be incurred.
6. In the case of Naval Drafts, the total baggage would not ordinarily
exceed the total luggage allowance as per prescribed scale. Authority is,
therefore, given in the case of Drafts for the total service baggage to be
carried at Government expense, and Excess Luggage Warrants issued in such
circumstances should be amended accordingly.
7. Navy Orders Nos. 435 of 1921 and 57 and 111 of 1922 are hereby
cancelled.
