FREE MONEY ORDERS.

  1. All remittances from the public to a Receiver of Land Revenue or Commissioner of Crown Lands, and vice versa, on account of land may be made by means of Money Orders issued free of commission charge. (See Rule No. 57.) No documentary evidence of the right to apply for such Orders will be necessary, but all such Orders must be sent to, or sent by, those officials, as the case may be, in their official capacity, otherwise commission at the ordinary inland rates will be payable. The Postmaster must write the letters “ C.L.” in the commission column of the Money Order Issued Statement as an explanation of the non-charge for commission.

  2. To facilitate the refund of deposits made in connection with applications for land under “ The Land for Settlements Act, 1894,” the Orders should be made payable at the office they are issued at. The Postmaster should explain as the reason for doing so that repayment (see Rule No. 86) will thereby be facilitated in the event of the applicant being unsuccessful, while in the case of successful applicants the amount will be collected by the Bank of New Zealand for credit to the Public Account.

  3. On the application of the tenderer for a mail service, a free Money Order for the amount to be lodged with his tender may be issued subject to the following conditions :—

(a.) The Order may be issued for the exact sum of the deposit required, no limit of amount being imposed in respect of Orders issued for this purpose.

(b.) The Order must be drawn in favour of the Chief Postmaster with whom the tender is to be lodged, and made payable to him at the same office as it is issued at. The Postmaster at the Issuing Office should explain as the reason for doing so that repayment will thereby be facilitated in the event of the applicant being unsuccessful.

(c.) No commission charge will be made in respect of Orders so issued, or fee charged if repayment thereof is subsequently desired. The letters “ O.P.S.O./M.S.” must be written in the commission column as an explanation of the non-charge for commission on such Orders.
