REGULATIONS.

Bureau Stations.

A “BUREAU STATION” means any ordinary telegraph-office connected by telephone with an exchange, and includes any station so connected.

The following are the charges to be paid by the public for the use of Government telephones in the colony at a bureau station:—

Where the line used is not more than six miles long, a uniform charge of 6d. for the use of the same for any period not exceeding three minutes, and a further charge of 6d. for every additional three minutes or portion of three minutes.

Where the line used is over six miles long, the charges are 1s. for the use of the same for any time not exceeding three minutes, and a further charge of 1s. for every additional three minutes or portion of three minutes.

The above regulation as to time (three minutes) shall only apply to bureau stations within the limits of a town where an exchange is situated.

For bureau stations outside the limits of a town, the charge will be for the first six minutes, and every additional six minutes or fraction of six minutes.

When subscribers are connected through an exchange to a bureau station, or from a bureau station to a subscriber, half the above rates will be charged.

When a message to the effect that any person is required at a telephone is delivered by the department from a bureau station, 3d. will be charged for delivery within the ordinary circuits of delivery. These charges must be paid by the sender. Messages outside the limits described above are subject to special charges for delivery, according to the extra expense thereby incurred.

Any one person may only use the wire for six minutes at a time—that is to say, that if another person requires the wire at the end of six minutes he must have it. Should the wire not be asked for, then the person using it may continue to do so at the tariff rate. On Sundays ordinary rates only are charged.
