1. The Chair shall have power to issue subpoenas and compel the attendance of witnesses before the Board in the same manner that any court in this state can compel the attendance of witnesses before it.
2. Whenever in the opinion of the Board the testimony of any witness against a demand pending before the Board is material, the Chair shall cause the attendance of the witness before the Board to testify concerning the demand.
3. The Board is authorized to make such witness a reasonable allowance for such attendance not exceeding the fees of witnesses in civil cases, which shall be paid from the contingent fund allowed the State Board of Examiners, but in no instance shall an allowance be made in favor of a witness who testifies in behalf of a claimant.
