SEC. 9. The subsistence, quarters, laundry, and fuel allowances authorized by appropriation acts may be commuted by the proper Department head when, in his judgment, the good of the service requires it, except when specifically declared to be in kind; but in the absence of a resolution of the Council of State to the contrary, the rates of commutation of quarters and subsistence shall not in any case exceed those fixed for per diems by section three hundred of the Administrative Code.
