-
The use of a telegraph-wire may be granted by the Department to chess clubs, on the understanding that the privilege is wholly contingent on a wire being available. No promise or arrangement must be made without the authority of the Secretary. The charges, which must be collected in advance, are 2s. 6d. an evening, should the Department provide accommodation with lighting and fuel; otherwise no charge is to be made. The Accountant must be advised specially at the conclusion of the match, whether fees are payable or not, and also of the postponement or abandonment of a match.
-
Postmasters and officers in charge of telegraph-offices in making requisition for type must do so on the prescribed form (P.O. 163) to the Chief Postmaster, who will forward it on to the Accountant in support of the entry in his Statement of Miscellaneous Receipts. When the circumstances demand immediate attention, a docket or duplicate of the requisition is to accompany the statement.
-
By “temporary office deficiencies” are to be understood deficiencies, as shown on Form Acct. 192, of temporary telegraph-offices opened at racecourses, agricultural shows, fairs, &c.
-
Registration of Code Addresses.—Fees must be entered on Form Acct. 190, upon which should be shown the name of the person by whom the fee is paid, the code-word registered or to be registered, and the period covered by the payment. (See Rule T. 133.)
-
To lessen the risk of code addresses being acted upon for a longer time than the payment provides for, cancellation should be promptly effected when the period for which payment is made expires, and the advice of such cancellation forwarded to the Secretary without delay. (See Rule T. 135.)
-
Telephone Exchange Receipts.—These are to be accounted for on Form Acct. 172, under the heading of “Telephone Exchange Receipts,” care being taken to enter each day’s items in numerical sequence. Sub-Postmasters and Officers in Charge of telegraph-offices must send in the statement through the Chief Postmaster of the district, who will utilise the information contained therein to check the entries in the Post Office Account.
-
Where more than one connection is held by the same subscriber, it must be clearly indicated on the report of collections for which connection the fee is paid. Thus “City Council (waterworks),” “City Council (Town Clerk),” “City Council (Fire Brigade).”
-
The officer preparing the cards on which subscribers are advised of the rental due (Form Acct. 186) must fill in particulars on both portions of the card, and not on the top only.
