JUNE 15.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1691

  1. A maintenance charge at ordinary rates is payable in respect of every racecourse wire, whether the wire is the property of the Department or of the racing club. The charge will be equally divided among the number of regular fixtures of the club for the year, and debited on the statement of receipts and expenditure on Form Acct. 192 as “Maintenance of Wire.” The clubs will be required to make good the deficiency arising from the business of any meeting. (See Rule T. 243.)

  2. Remittances from sub-offices to chief offices must be entered on the face of Form Acct. 7, Sub-office “Post Office Account,” the entries thereon being amplified, if necessary, in the case of offices at which an extensive business is performed. Chief Postmasters will keep an official record of remittances in the remittance-book provided, in accordance with instructions printed therein.

765A. Advice of remittance on Form Acct. 87A, accompanied by the bank receipt for lodgment, is to be regarded as a sufficient notification to the Chief Postmaster of any payment made to credit of his deposit account. The Chief Postmaster’s acknowledgment of remittance will be sufficient for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of the Audit or departmental Inspector.

  1. Remittances from the Postmaster-General.—Under this heading must be brought to debit all remittances by post or telegraph from the Accountant, including the amount of drafts made on the Postmaster-General to place a Chief Postmaster’s Deposit Account in funds.

  2. All telegraph requisitions from Chief Postmasters for funds required by telegraph from Post Office Account must be addressed to the Accountant, and follow the wording of the printed form used to draw upon the Postmaster-General in ordinary cases. The original telegraphic requisition must accompany the account in which the debit appears. It is necessary that both signature and counter-signature should be telegraphed.

  3. Government Insurance receipts may only be received by Postmasters duly appointed as local agents for the Government Insurance Department. At offices at which there are branches of the Bank of New Zealand the amounts are to be paid into the local Government Insurance Account, and where no branch is situated the Postmaster will bring them to charge as Government Insurance receipts in his Post Office Account, and the Chief Postmaster will account for them as provided for in Form Acct. 7A, and furnish a summary on Form Acct. 189. The Postmaster must furnish direct to the Government Insurance Office the statements required by the special instructions issued by that office.
