Orders drawn upon his office if the Advices are more than three months old.
Remittances.
141. Except in the foregoing circumstances, the Postmaster must remit to his Chief Postmaster by every mail all the official cash, exclusive of odd shillings and pence, in his possession in excess of his authorised reserve, whenever that excess reaches or exceeds £10.
(a.) Remittances should be enclosed in the form provided for the purpose, the amount being stated opposite to that heading in the form which describes its nature. When despatching a remittance the Postmaster must describe it on his Letter-bill as “Remittance.” It must never be enclosed in the envelope in which the Post Office Account is sent.
Application for funds to meet payments.
142. Should the Postmaster receive notice of unusually large demands to be made upon his Office, and for the payment of which he requires more cash than the Reserve Balance, he must, when no funds have been specially remitted to him or authorised to be retained, apply to his Chief Postmaster for a remittance on the form (Acct. No. 93) called “Requisition for Funds,” stating for what purpose the remittance is required, and taking care to despatch it as a separate letter. Should he be unable to meet an authorised demand for want of funds, he must report the fact by the first post to his Chief Postmaster.
May be made by telegraph in urgent cases.
(a). In urgent cases the Postmaster may telegraph for funds. The telegram should be forwarded as early in the day as possible, and be worded as briefly as the sense will permit.
Remittances by telegraph.
(b.) In all cases in which a Postmaster is placed in funds by telegraph, the usual form of advice of remittance (Acct. No. 87A), filled up with the necessary particulars and enfaced, “Sent by Telegraph,” must be sent from the Chief Postmaster to the Postmaster, who will, on receipt of the form, acknowledge the remittance in the usual manner.
Official cash not to be used for private purposes.
143. The Postmaster must clearly understand that he is allowed to hold an official balance solely to enable him to meet the requirements of the public service, and he must on no account apply to his own private use, for however short a period, any portion of the official balance intrusted to him.
Failure to remit excess over authorised reserve or explain omission may lead to suspension.
144. If, when the Postmaster is applied to with reference to an excessive balance, he should fail to make the necessary remittance, or to forward a satisfactory explanation by return of post, it may be considered necessary to send an officer to take charge of his Office, and the expenses incidental to this proceeding may be charged to the Postmaster.
