Proceedings in granting a money-order telegram payable in New Zealand.
81. In granting a money-order telegram payable in the colony the cash for the amount of the order, of the commission, and of the telegraph fee must first be obtained. Then the proper form of order (Form Acct. No. 38) must be filled up by the issuing officer, with the name and address of the payee, the name of the office at which payment is to be made, the code-word, the name of the remitter, the amount in figures and writing, and, if an urgent money-order telegram is required, the word “ Urgent ” should be entered, with the initials of the issuing Postmaster, under the head of “ Instructions.” The order must then be signed by the Postmaster, dated with the office-stamp, and immediately handed in by an officer of the Department for transmission by telegraph.

(a.) The order may not be handed to the remitter. No charge beyond that already indicated may be made for transmission, except any porterage charge which may be payable in accordance with the Telegraph Regulations.

How to address money-order telegrams to persons not at the place where payable.
82. When a money-order telegram is issued for payment to a person not residing in the place where the order is payable, and to which it must be telegraphed in accordance with the instructions, the address of the payee must be inserted in the space for the instructions, preceded by the word “ Post,” or, when carriage is paid, by the word “ Carriage.” Thus, a money-order telegram payable at Wellington to a person residing at Karori would be telegraphed to Wellington with the instruction “ Post, Karori,” or “ Carriage paid, Karori,” as the case may be. In every such case care must be taken to make it clear to remitters that a money-order telegram can be telegraphed only to the money-order office at which the order is payable.

Duplicates of lost money-order telegrams.
83. Should a money-order telegram be lost either in the course of transmission or after being duly delivered to the payee, a duplicate of it may be obtained on application under Rules 63 and 64 to the Controller, Money-order Office, Wellington.

Receipt to be given to remitter when applied for.
84. When applied for, a receipt for the amount received at the issuing office must be given by the issuing Postmaster on a copy of the requisition, which the remitter must furnish, writing across it the word “ Duplicate.”

Payee may be named by official title only.
85. The applicant for a money-order telegram may describe the payee by his official title only; but when the payee is so described the order may be paid in accordance with Rule 45.

Correction of money-order telegrams.
86. When the remitter desires to correct an order the particulars of the required correction must be telegraphed briefly by the issuing office to the paying Postmaster, and if the correction extends to change of name or address the telegraph-office must be requested to deliver the order to the new address. A commission according to the inland rate for ordinary orders, together with a telegraph fee of 6d., must be collected and affixed in stamps to the application for the correction.

Applications for intercolonial money-order telegrams. Preparation of order. Telegram advice to be sent by remitter to payee.
87. In case of intercolonial money-order telegrams the remitter must be requested to fill up a requisition on Form Acct. No. 70, and write the word “ Telegram ” at the top thereof. On receipt of the amount of the order, and of the commission and telegraph fee payable therefor, the Postmaster will then prepare an order on the money-order form next to be issued, in the same way as an ordinary money-order, writing legibly and boldly across the face of the order and advice, “ Intercolonial Money-order Telegram.” The order must be attached to the Money-order Issue Statement, and transmitted by the Postmaster to his Chief Office, and by the Chief Postmaster to the Controller, Money-order Office, Wellington, the advice being despatched to the Chief Office without delay in the same manner as are the advices of ordinary orders. In the Money-order Issue Statement the name of the colony where an order is payable must be followed by the word “ Telegram.” The Postmaster should direct the remitter to send a telegram to the payee advising him of the issue of the order, the cost of which telegram must be borne by the remitter. This private telegram to the payee is indispensable, as the order will not be paid unless it is produced.

Telegram to paying office authorising payment.
(a.) The Postmaster will then prepare a telegram to the paying office on the special form provided for the purpose, the particulars being carefully transcribed in the order in which they are shown on that form.

One telegram may cover two or more orders from same remitter when numbers are continuous.
(b.) When two or more intercolonial money-order telegrams are sent from the same remitter to the same payee, only the first and last numbers of the series need be given, but the amount must be written in words and in code for the whole.

Code-word to be used.
(c.) Each intercolonial money-order telegram must contain the appropriate code word, to be obtained from the list supplied to all Postmasters in charge of money-order offices. In all other respects the issue of intercolonial money-order telegrams is governed by the rules applicable to inland money-order telegrams.
