Received top copies must show the time telephoned and the subscriber’s number, and be initialled by the transmitting officer.
286. Subscribers, by prearrangement as above, may also telephone telegrams, not exceeding fifty words, to a telegraph-office for transmission. To prevent duplication the word “Transmitted” must be written in a conspicuous place on the form after the telegram has been telephoned, otherwise the charge for a second transmission will be incurred.
The original and transcribed copy must be attached to each other and sent to the Clearing-room in due course.
287. On payment of 6d. in addition to the transmission fee senders may have telegrams addressed to exchange subscribers telephoned to subscribers’ connections upon receipt at the office of destination. The words “To be telephoned” must be inserted in the instructions and charged for.
288. When an annual payment is not made, the fees should be attached to the relative telegrams.
For further conditions and charges see Guide.
SPECIAL MESSENGER SERVICE.
289. During the hours the telegraph-office is open for business, upon request being made to the exchange, a special messenger must be placed at the disposal of any subscriber, under the conditions and at the fees shown in the Guide.
290. Nine p.m. is the latest hour at which the call for a messenger for express delivery or special messenger service may be attended to. When, however, the telegraph-office closes before 9 p.m. the hour of closing is to be substituted. Either service must be commenced but need not necessarily be terminated by that time.
291. Payment of fees may, at the option of subscribers, be made either at the time of the service being performed, or included in the account rendered for rental of a telephone connection at the end of three or six months, as the case may be. If more than the actual fee is received, the surplus must be returned by post, not by messenger. Receipts for payment made at any time must be given free of charge. (Also see Rule T. 272.)
292. When the special messenger service is required by a Government officer payment must be made. These services are not to be performed free of charge, nor may a franking officer’s signature be accepted as requiring that course.
