for registration made to the General Post Office. The stamps should be cancelled with a legible impression of the date-stamp of the day upon which the fee is received.
808. Unclaimed Moneys are receivable at any Money-order and Savings-Bank Office under the 6th section of “The Unclaimed Moneys Act, 1898,” to be brought to charge specially under the heading “Unclaimed Moneys,” particulars thereof being furnished on Form Acct. 190.
809. Lodgments on account of Departments not detailed.—Lodgments tendered on account of other Departments of the Government are also accepted from the public. If a Postmaster is tendered money on account of a Department about which he has had no previous instructions he should apply to his Chief Postmaster before accepting the money, and a Chief Postmaster in like case to the Accountant. Unless otherwise instructed, receipts of this class for which printed headings have not been provided in the various account forms should be entered on Form Acct. 190, and special entries made in the sub- and chief office Post Office Accounts.
810. Fines, and Repayment of Loans from Fine Account.—
(a.) Fines inflicted upon officers and repayments of loans made to officers from Fine Account are accounted for by affixing the amount in stamps to the special form of voucher for collection on Fine Account. Upon the infliction of a fine this form is prepared in duplicate by the carbon-paper process, and the duplicate or advice forwarded direct to the Accountant. The name of the officer, amount of fine, and reason for its infliction must be clearly set forth, and the form must be dated and signed by the Chief Postmaster or the Officer in Charge. When the fine is collected it must be affixed to the voucher in the least number of stamps available which will make up the amount, the stamps so affixed being cancelled with the signature of the Chief Postmaster or Officer in Charge, and witnessed by his next senior officer. At the close of each month a schedule of fines collected therein must be made out on Form Acct. 239, which should be totalled, signed, and then forwarded to the Accountant, accompanied by the stamped fine-vouchers in a registered letter.
(b.) Vouchers for ordinary repayments on account of loans are prepared by the Accountant.
(c.) Chief Postmasters and Officers in Charge who have on their staffs or under their control officers to whom loans have been made from the Fine Account must, when making payment to those officers of any arrears of increment to salary, see that the amount is at once paid in towards reduction of the loan, as provided in the form of agreement entered into by the borrower. For such repayments vouchers are to be prepared locally.
