Instruction
Art. Another way in which payment
may be made for service without placing interest in a
state of opposition to duty is where the pay of the
functionary encreases with the quantity of the work
done by him. by the supposition the supposition
provided always and it being supposed that it
is not in effect in his power to derive benefit in
any shape from deterioration produced or permitted
by him in respect of its quality.

But whether, and if yes in what degree it is
in his power to effect or permitt such deterioration
will depend upon the nature of the work.

Liable to error is every extensive rule which makes all
due allowance for this liability to constrain the
deterioration.

An example of payment according to quantity is
what is called payment by contract.

Generally speaking when work is performed
on public account, less abuse is liable to have place
when it is performed by instead private hands in pursuance
of contract than when performed by public functionaries
who are paid by the time. Why? Answer. Because,
the for want of adequate interest the disposal made of the time of
public servants is not looked to with the same care attention and
solicitude by the directing eye where the directing eye is that
of a public functionary as where it is in that of an individual
whose personal interest is concerned in the aptitude of the performance.
