The title of the officer to whom the Instructions should be addressed and by whom the Forms should be filled up has been left blank, as it is thought that this can most conveniently be settled on the spot.
It is suggested, however, that it will be most convenient to address the instructions to the Marshal, and to make him responsible for filling up the forms, leaving it to him to arrange for the supply of the necessary informa-
tion from the officers acting under him.
The title of the department or official to whom the completed Forms should be transmitted has also been left blank in the instructions, and those
blanks should be filled in before the instructions are issued.
The instructions direct the Forms to be completed in triplicate-
one set should be kept for record and the remaining two sets transmitted
to the Secretary of State.
Where the damage caused by any fire is likely to exceed £500, particulars of the nature and estimated value of the cargo affected should be telegraphed to the Secretary of State without delay and Form D
completed and forwarded in due course.
All moneys collected in accordance with paragraph 5 of the instructions must ultimately be remitted to the Secretary of State. Some convenient procedure should be devised to provide for the transmission of moneys so collected by the officer collecting the same to the appropriate department or officer for ultimate transmission to the Secretary of State as aforesaid, and the necessary instructions to secure the carrying out of this procedure should be given to the officer entrusted with the duty of collection.
The form of bond to be taken in accordance with para. 6 of the instruc- tions should be settled locally and retained in the appropriate department. Copies need not be sent to the Secretary of State.
