which is intended to contain the fullest information upon all matters connected with the staff of the district, must be kept at each chief post-office, and by the Officers in Charge at Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, Napier, Wakapuaka, and Wellington, with respect to their own staff. The book must be carefully and regularly posted up, and all notifications from the General Post Office duly recorded. The additional names which Roman Catholic lads are given at their confirmation are to be entered in Establishment-books in respect of departmental employees, and advice sent to the Secretary.
37. The Officers in Charge at Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, Napier, and Wellington are required to keep a record of uncombined telephone-offices, and to advise the Chief Postmasters of any proposed change thereat, so that the usual form of recommendation may be sent to the Secretary. Chief Postmasters must advise the Officers in Charge of any change of telephonists at combined offices. On the opening of a telephone-office the Inspector of Telegraphs recommends the appointment of the telephonist. Every subsequent recommendation of appointment of a telephonist while the office remains open will be made by the Chief Postmaster. (See Rule 19.)
38. The best arrangements possible for witnessing statutory declarations of telephonists, either by a Justice of the Peace or by a Postmaster authorised by warrant under the Governor’s hand to take such declarations, must be made. It is absolutely necessary that such declarations should be in the possession of the Department before offices are opened. Such being the case, Inspectors and other managing officers can greatly expedite the business by sending blank forms of declaration forward, so that proposed telephonists may have an opportunity of signing them before the Inspector arrives to open the office.
39. Postmasters who are authorised to take statutory declarations are only so authorised in respect of the offices for which they are named.
40. Chief Postmasters must see that all appointments, transfers, temporary changes, or leave of absence of Railway Postmasters or officers performing combined duties at any of their sub-offices are duly notified to them by the District Railway Manager, and, when deemed necessary, entered in the Establishment-book, and reported to the Secretary by post or by telegraph, as circumstances may require. In recommending Railway officers for appointment to the charge of offices, Form P.O. 110 is to be used, being altered if necessary. Any appointment, temporary or permanent, to an office which is a telegraph testing-station must be notified to the Inspector of Telegraphs.
