493. It is a Chief Postmaster’s duty to take proper notice of defective stamping at post-offices which are subordinate to him, and to provide for frequent revision of the work of date-marking with a view to maintaining its clearness and correctness. No officer is to deface the stamps on correspondence posted by himself.
494. It is necessary that the Inspector should know how the stamping duty is performed, and a report must be made to him of any imperfections in the stamping of an office from which a mail is received.
495. Applications for new date-stamps, type, or seals are to be sent to the Inspector, to whom old material of the same kinds should be returned. When a sub-office is supplied with a new date-stamp the Chief Postmaster will see that the old one is recalled. Type supplied to replace any that may be carelessly lost will be charged to the Postmaster. The value of stamps received at chief post-offices for type symbols must be brought to charge as “Miscellaneous receipts” in the Post Office Account, and particulars entered separately on statement Form Acct. 190, the requisitions being sent in with the statement. The cost of a single type is 5d., and of a double type 7½d. The patterns accompanying requisitions must correspond with the description of type required. In the case of a single type, 2, 4, 5, or 7 is the most suitable pattern.
496. When application is made for a date-stamp, the requisition is to show clearly whether the stamp is intended for a post-office, a telephone-office, or a combined office.
497. As far as possible, boxes containing date-stamps and type are to be securely packed in hampers or baskets for transmission to destination. Returned stamps and seals are to be clean and ready to put away, and the memorandum of advice should show an impression of each.
PRIVATE BOXES AND BAGS.
498. The terms and conditions under which private boxes and bags are let will be found in the Guide.
499. A form of application for a private letter-box is distributed by the Storekeeper. A supply of the form, which is self-explanatory, must be kept at each post-office at which private letter-boxes are provided for the public, and in future no box is to be let without written application being made on this form. (See Rule 729.)
