General Post Office, for authorisation. The Department may decline to pay for supplies obtained without authority.
967. Postmasters or Officers in Charge when forwarding to destination, by rail or otherwise, material in transit from the Storekeeper, Post and Telegraph Stores, Wellington, to some other office will make freight payable thereon by the consignee—i.e., by the officer for whom the material is ultimately intended.
968. The receiving officer will then certify to the correctness of the way-bill or freight-voucher for such consignment, and state on the face of the document certified the work to which freight is chargeable.
969. Should any difficulty be experienced with the Railway Department or others, the forwarding Postmaster should communicate with the Storekeeper, Post and Telegraph Stores, Wellington, by telegraph.
970. In cases of supplies purchased from a Government contractor the number of the schedule and of the article taken from the printed copy of the accepted tender must be inserted in the margin of the voucher.
Payments for other Departments.
971. Payments are made on behalf of the Treasury for any Department of the public service on properly certified and authorised vouchers. The name of the Department to which the service is chargeable must always appear on the voucher and be entered on the statement of miscellaneous payments in the space thereon provided. Sufficient particulars must be entered on the statement to enable the vouchers to be readily traced therefrom. Authorities to pay must in all cases be attached or quoted. Post and Telegraph Department vouchers must not be used for claims of other Departments.
971A. Authorities to pay must be signed by the officer issuing them, and may be given by indorsement, or enfacement, by a gummed slip attached, or the special white form issued by the Treasury.
972. Bailiffs’ mileage fees may only be paid when authorised by a Stipendiary Magistrate or by the Under-Secretary of the Justice Department. Payments made under the authority of Justices of the Peace, Clerks of the Court, or other persons will be disallowed. The amount payable will be represented by stamps affixed to the special form of voucher. Care must be taken to see that the value of the stamps affixed is not less than the amount shown on the face of the voucher, and that they have been duly cancelled by the Clerk of the Court. The authority to pay must always be sent in attached to the voucher, and no payment may be made without it.
