-
Gratuity vouchers payable to the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company may only be paid at Wellington to the signature of the agents. Certifying officers must make the claims payable in Wellington accordingly.
-
Gratuities are not payable for the carriage by contract steamers, nor by non-contract steamers on account of mails usually carried under contract, without the special authority of the Secretary.
-
On no account must claims or accounts for carriage of parcels be included with those for gratuities on ordinary mail-matter.
Inland Mail-services.
-
Vouchers for subsidies or periodical payments to be made for inland mail-services must be made out on the prescribed Form Acct. 205, bear the number of the service at the top, and be checked and certified by Chief Postmasters before payment is made. Each paid voucher must be recorded in the Mail-service Register.
-
Chief Postmasters must report immediately to the Secretary on Form P.O. 95 any alteration or correction in any contract within their district. Authorisation by telegram from Head Office does not obviate the necessity for such report.
-
Services not performed under contract—i.e., emergency services, local cartages, &c.—are to be paid for on Form Acct. 227.
-
Payments for contract services should be made on the last day of the period covered by the payment, or as soon thereafter as possible.
Mails by Rail.
-
Chief Postmasters will certify all claims rendered by the local Railway officer for special trains in the following form: “I hereby certify that the special train was used for conveying the [inward San Francisco mail ex s.s. “Sierra”] consisting of —— bags from [Christchurch to Dunedin].” The claims must then be returned to the local Railway Accounting Officer who will forward them to his Head Office in Wellington. All special trains must be specially authorised by the Secretary, General Post Office. When the special train authorised is not used the Secretary and Accountant, General Post Office, must both be advised.
-
Chief Postmasters will treat claims for extra trucks and “overflows” in the same manner as claims for special trains, except that the Secretary’s authority is not required. The special certificate is to take the following form: “I hereby certify that the [K] vans were actually required for despatch of mail, consisting of [— bags, — hampers] of [inward Australian mail from Christchurch
