WHEREAS by section fifteen of "The Electric Lines
Act, 1884" (hereinafter termed "the said Act"), it
is provided that the Governor by Order in Council from
time to time may make, alter, amend, and revoke regulations
in respect of any telegraph for the purpose, inter alia,
of the transmission of all telegrams by means of any electric
line, for the delivery thereof, and for the disposal of all
unclaimed or undelivered telegrams, and for fixing and
determining the fees and rates to be demanded and received
for the transmission of any such telegram and for the forwarding thereof for delivery : And it is expedient to make
regulations for the purposes hereinafter mentioned :
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the
Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
power and authority conferred upon him by the said Act,
and of all other powers in that behalf enabling him, and
acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the said colony, doth hereby make the regulations
set forth in the schedule hereto permitting code addresses
to be used for telegrams originating in New Zealand as well
as beyond New Zealand, and prescribing charges for the use
of code addresses ; and doth order that such regulations
shall have effect on and after the publication of this Order
in Council in the Government Gazette.
SCHEDULE.
A code address (if registered) may be used on a telegram
intended to be delivered in New Zealand.
A code address is an address composed of a word in code
language representing the name of the addressee of the
telegram and the name in plain language of the place of
destination of the telegram.

Department before being used, and may be registered
for any term not exceeding one year and not less than
one month.

Zealand for the registration of code addresses. Code
addresses for inland telegrams (meaning telegrams received
from places within New Zealand) shall be registered
separately from code addresses for cable telegrams (meaning
telegrams received from places beyond New Zealand), and
the registration charges shall accordingly be cumulative.
The charges for such registration shall be—

code address for cable telegrams : Ten shillings
per annum.
(b.) If the code address is not the same as the registered
