769. New Zealand Consols.—Postmasters may receive applications for investment in New Zealand Consols when accompanied by a deposit for the amount named, and must issue to the depositor a receipt therefor. The form must be signed by the applicant, and countersigned by the receiving Postmaster. The amount received by Postmasters must be brought to charge as a remittance, for which the usual acknowledgement must be sent to the Chief Postmaster, accompanied by the applications. On receipt at chief offices the applications must be stamped on the back with date of receipt, and the sub-office debited with the proper amount as a remittance. The applications must then be entered, with those made at the chief office, on Form Acct. 190, under heading of “New Zealand Consols Receipts,” and brought to charge accordingly.
770. Customs Duties payable on parcels must be brought on charge by Chief Postmasters under the heading of “Customs Duties,” supported by Forms Acct. 231A 307A, 308A, or by the parcel-bill itself, as circumstances may require. Sub-Postmasters must treat the duty as a remittance from their chief office. The duty on parcels transferred from one office to another within the same postal district must be shown by chief offices in their accounts under the heading of “Remittances.” Sub-accounting officers must be treated in the same manner as Sub-Postmasters.
771. When parcels are received at chief offices from places beyond New Zealand, a label, C. & F. P.P. 16, should be affixed to each. They should then be submitted to the Customs officers for examination and assessment of duty. Should any parcel be obviously marked “Invoice” in error, it should at once be brought under the notice of the Collector of Customs for re-examination, in order to avoid any needless delay in delivery. When this has been done, the parcels clerk, who must be regarded as a sub-accounting officer, should sort the parcels according to postal districts, including in his own district all sub-offices which can be served by him more conveniently than through their respective chief offices. He must then prepare lists on the backs of Forms Acct. 231 (Certificate) and 231A (Notice) by the manifold-writing process, care being taken to see that the paper used is carbonised on one side only.
772. The lists to be prepared are as follows:—
(a.) Lists of the parcels for delivery in each of the other postal districts: In this case the notice is sent with the parcels, and the certificate to the Accountant.
(b.) A list of parcels for delivery in his own district or at sub-offices in other districts which he can conveniently serve and the duty payable thereon: The parcels clerk must then debit
