-
Postage-due stamps are not permitted to be sold by stamp-vendors, who consequently cannot purchase them as vendors or claim commission on their sale at any time.
-
Money-orders paid; Savings-bank Withdrawals; Savings-bank Transfer Certificates.—For these see special books of instructions dealing with money-order and Savings-bank business.
-
Telegraph Credits.—Every item of carriage paid, &c., must be detailed in the Telegraph Statement (Acct. 210), and each entry supported by the necessary receipt. Claims for services of this description should always be rendered promptly. Any amount due for special delivery of telegrams or bureau messages, unclaimed after the expiration of a period of three months from the date of the performance of the service, will be written off the records of the Department.
-
Cable Deposits refunded.—Under this head credit should be taken for (a) amounts affixed to cable messages on account of which a deposit has been received; (b) any refund in cash made to a person wishing to close a Cable Deposit Account. Credit for such refund must be supported by a receipt.
-
Remittances to Sub-Postmasters.—Credit must be taken under this head for all amounts treated as remittances to sub-accounting officers. Where no branch of the bank exists, remittances required to place Sub-Postmasters in funds must be made in cash. A Chief Postmaster must not make remittances to his sub-offices in cash where there are branches of the Bank of New Zealand, but by cheque drawn upon his Deposit Account, superscribed “Free of exchange at only.” Such cheques should be lodged by a Postmaster to credit of his official account, and under no circumstances be used for the purpose of direct payment.
-
In all cases in which a Postmaster is placed in funds by telegraph the usual form of advice of remittance (Form Acct. 87A), with the necessary particulars inserted, and superscribed “Sent by telegraph,” should be sent by first mail to the Postmaster, who must, on receipt thereof, acknowledge receipt of the remittance in the usual manner.
-
A monthly statement must be furnished to the Accountant, General Post Office, by each Chief Postmaster, showing each separate remittance sent by wire in his district, and the purpose for which it was sent. Remittances on account of payments effected for other Departments are to be summarised under the head of the particular Department on whose account they were sent. When there are no remittances a “Nil” return must be furnished.
