Stationery Allowances to Accountant Officers Increased, to provide for supply of Stationery to Medical Officers

Whereas it has hitherto been the practice for the Medical Officers of Your Majesty's Ships to be supplied direct with certain articles of Stationery required in the performance of their duties ;

We beg leave to recommend that Your Majesty will be graciously j)leased by Your Order in Council to sanction an increase of Five per centum per Annum in the Rates of those Allowances as laid down in Appendix XVI of the Regulations for the Government of Your Majesty's Naval Service, to take effect from the 1st April 1896.
