CABLE-CODE ADDRESSES.
Registration.
132. All applications for registration of a code or abbreviated address for cable messages must be accompanied with the annual fee of 10s. or the monthly fee of 2s. 6d. Applications must state where the word submitted, if an uncommon one, is to be found, whether in the dictionary, or cable-code vocabulary, &c., and be referred to the Secretary for approval. No advice of acceptance of any code address must be issued until registration has been approved by the Head Office. Directions for the public in this matter will be found in the Guide. Dictionary words are in all cases preferred as cable-code addresses. The following cannot be registered: Personal (proper) names unless the name is an uncommon one; the name of a profession (as “Solicitor,” “Merchant,” &c.); any word to which more than one person may have an equal right (as “Hotel,” “Bank,” &c.): the name of any country, State, or telegraph-office; the name of a well-known street, number, &c.
Fee.
133. The fee of 10s. for one year or 2s. 6d. for one month holds good at any office in New Zealand, provided the person registering the indicator desires it to be transferred. This does not, however, apply to telegrams which are regularly addressed to more than one place, such as to firms having branches in different towns, &c. A statement of fees collected must be made to the Accountant on Form Acct. 190.

134.

Cancellation.
135. Notification of the cancellation of a cable-code address must be forwarded to the Secretary without delay. Sub-offices must advise their central office when a renewal fee is paid or a code address cancelled.
Renewal.
136. Should the renewal fee for an address which has been registered for twelve months remain unpaid for two weeks after the due date, a second request must be made to the holder, and if this be disregarded, the address should be cancelled and the Secretary advised.
Unregistered.
137.
