755. Any such moneys which may be deposited with telegraph counter-clerks at chief offices to meet the cost of cable messages to be subsequently sent must be paid over to the Chief Postmaster and brought to charge in his Daily Cash Account as “Cable Deposits.”
756. The telegraph counter-clerk will at the end of each day send to the Chief Postmaster a receipt for the amount which he has affixed in stamps during the day to the messages sent by those persons having unexpended balances and take credit for the receipt as a remittance of the amount it represents.
757. The Chief Postmaster will allow credit and treat the amount in his Daily Cash Account as “Cable Deposits withdrawn,” attaching the receipt in support of the entry.
758. At the end of the month the balance as shown by the Chief Postmaster’s accounts must be shown on the back of the Post Office Account, Form Acct. 7a, and brought down in the summary as part of the general cash balance.
759. The telegraph counter-clerk will be required to keep a special record of the transactions against each individual.
760. The Chief Postmaster will keep a special account showing deposits received and amounts allowed to the telegraph counter-clerk on his receipts. A daily balance must be extended in order to guard against credit being allowed in excess of the balance on hand. At the end of each month the total balances at credit of individuals as shown by the counter-clerk must be compared with the cash balance held by the Postmaster.
761. Maintenance of Telegraph-wires.—Under this heading must be brought to charge all rentals of private wires and subsidies for telephone-lines, Form· Acct. 190 being used. On no account may amounts received for, or on account of cost of erection of private wires or telephone-lines be thus accounted for, but as Miscellaneous Receipts. (See Rule 733.)
762. Private wires may not be connected directly or indirectly with telephone exchanges without payment of the special charge. Any infringement of this rule should when discovered be at once reported to the Accountant. The annual charge for this privilege must be collected and accounted for as an exchange subscription on Form Acct. 172.
763. Rentals of private wires must after the first year or portion of a year be made to fall due on the 1st January. Subsidies to telephone lines are to be considered as due on the date the line is opened, or the anniversary of such date.
