the Crown, are supplied with stamps on requisition to the Chief Post Office, and must account for the same in their periodical Accounts. Chief Postmasters may advance to country Postmasters who are not on the permanent staff, or under bond, a supply of stamps equal in value to a quarter’s salary, and take a receipt for the advance on Form P.O. 67, which receipt should be renewed at the end of every year; but subsequent requisitions must be accompanied with a remittance in full payment for the supply required. Envelopes for use by Sub-Postmasters in sending cash for stamps are supplied to those Sub-Postmasters who cannot remit through a bank.
290. Country Postmasters will obtain their supplies of stamps from the Chief Postmaster, or, if more convenient, from the nearest permanent Postmaster. They must on no account purchase stamps from licensed vendors. They will also procure, through their Chief Postmaster, such impressed paper as may be applied for; and Postmasters in goldfields districts must keep on hand a sufficient supply of stamped transfer paper as well. A poundage of 1¼ per cent. is granted to licensed vendors and to stamp-depositories on purchases to the amount of £2 and upwards of stamps above the nominal value of 2s. each, and to country Postmasters not on the permanent staff on any purchases of the value of £1 and upwards. Poundage is not payable to Postmasters on requisitions of less than £1. Licensed vendors and depositaries may also be granted a poundage of 2½ per cent. on purchases to the amount of £2 and upwards of stamps of the value of 2s. each and under. Postmasters on the permanent staff may supply licensed vendors. To other persons poundage is payable at the rate of 1¼ per cent. on purchases to the value of £20 and upwards. Postmasters are authorised to pay poundage as above, when they will take a receipt on Form P.O. 66, and send it to the Chief Postmaster as a remittance. Postmasters on the permanent staff and Postmistresses on the extra-classification establishment are not entitled to poundage.
291. Sub-Postmasters who are entitled to poundage on ordinary stamps will be allowed the usual 1¼ per cent. on postage-due stamps used.
292. No person other than a Postmaster or other postal officer, unless by special license of the Commissioner of Stamps, who alone issues such licenses, may sell postage and revenue stamps, under a penalty of £10. Postmasters should report any breach of this prohibition.
