The return from sub-offices should be posted so as to reach chief offices not later than the 1st of the month.

Chief Postmasters and Officers in Charge must furnish to the Secretary each half-year, ending with March and September respectively, a return, on Form P.O. 165, of absentees on account of sickness at their own offices only, country offices not to be included. In the March return it will also be necessary to show, immediately above the heading “Special Remarks,” the actual total number of officers absent during the whole year, male and female separately. The officers away are to be counted only once, no matter how often they may have been absent.
