Remuneration to be allowed.
Provision is made by Article VIII. for the remuneration of
the Officers who have to make notifications under the Order.
In the case of a Medical Officer of a Poor Law Institution or a
District Medical Officer, the remuneration will be at the rate

remuneration will be at the rate of sixpence for every such

by the Article.

It will be the duty of the Poor Law Authorities referred
