SCHEDULE.

GENERAL.

  1. These rules are for the guidance of Postmasters and other officers of the Post and Telegraph Department, who are all equally bound to observe them. As no breach of rule will be excused on the plea of ignorance, it is the duty of Postmasters to take care that their subordinate officers acquaint themselves with the rules affecting their respective duties, and sign a minute in the office standard copy that they have read the regulations. Such of the general Civil Service Regulations as apply to officers and are not incorporated in these rules are printed at the end of this book.

  2. When any rule in this book is altered or cancelled by instructions in the Official Circular (see remarks on front page) the book must be corrected accordingly.

Chief Postmasters must see that a copy of all rules, as they are issued from time to time, regarding telegraph matters, is supplied to all offices in their district named in the list of offices at which railway-telegraph business is transacted.

  1. The book of rules is to be read in conjunction with the Post and Telegraph Guide (hereinafter referred to as “the Guide”), which is designed and is to be regarded as a book of instructions for all officers, as well as one of reference for the public; with the book of rules for the guidance of telegraph officers and with the “Australian and Foreign Mail List.” (See remarks on front page.)

  2. In these rules, unless inconsistent with the context,—

“Accountant” means the Accountant, Post and Telegraph Department:

“Chief Postmaster” means the Postmaster of the chief post-office of any postal district:

“Inspector,” unless otherwise specified, means the Assistant Secretary and Inspector of the Post and Telegraph Department:
