INTERCOLONIAL MONEY ORDER TELE-GRAMS.
Money Orders may be telegraphed to Australia and Tasmania.
- Money Orders for transmission by telegraph may be issued for payment at Money Order Offices in Australia and Tasmania, subject to the following conditions being complied with :—
Applications for I.M.O.T.s.
(a.) The applicant must be requested to fill up a requisition on Form Acct. No. 70, and write the word “Telegraph” at the top thereof.
Issue of I.M.O.T.s.
(b.) On receipt of the amount of the Order, the commission (same rates as for a Money Order by post), and the telegraph fee at current rates (see table of rates in Postal Guide), the Postmaster must prepare an Order on the ordinary Money Order form next to be issued in the same way as an ordinary Money Order, writing legibly and boldly across the face of the Order and Advice “Telegraphed.”
Telegram to be forwarded to Paying Office.
(c.) The Postmaster will then prepare a telegram to the Paying Office on the special form provided for the purpose, the particulars being transcribed in the order in which they are shown on that form, and affix the telegraph charges thereto in stamps. (See example given in Rule No. 67.)
Private telegram to be sent by remitter to payee.
(d.) The Postmaster must invariably direct the remitter to send a private telegram to the payee, advising him of the issue of the Order, the cost of which telegram must be borne by the remitter. This private telegram from the remitter to the payee is indispensable, as the Order will not be paid unless it is produced by the payee.
Ordinary Order to be attached to M.O. Issued Statement.
- The ordinary Money Order must be attached to the Money Order Issued Statement in which the entry appears, and sent by the Postmaster to his Chief Postmaster, and by the Chief Postmaster to the Controller. The Advice must be despatched to the Chief Postmaster without delay in the same manner as are the Advices of ordinary Money Orders.
Special particulars to be entered in M.O. Issued Statement.
- In the Money Order Issued Statement the name of the State where the Order is payable must be followed by the word “Telegraph.”
How I.M.O.T.s must be prepared for transmission by telegraph.
- The following formula indicates the matter which should be inserted and charged for in the telegraphic advice of an intercolonial Money Order Telegram :—
