The numbers of the Orders issued must, in the case of Germany and Samoa, be entered at the left-hand side of the column headed “Remarks,” and, in the case of India, in the column provided for the purpose.
-
The totals of the Money Order Statements of each Chief Office must be entered, with those of its Sub-Offices, in a summary, showing the totals of the Money Orders issued and paid in the relative Postal District during the period for which it is furnished, the Chief Office transactions being shown in daily totals as well as in one general total for the period. This summary, with the relative Statements and Vouchers (other than the Chief Office ones, which are rendered daily), must be forwarded to the Controller immediately after the receipt at the Chief Office of all the Sub-Office Money Order Statements. The Sub-Office entries in the summary must be arranged in alphabetical order.
-
Cash required to meet payments on Post Office Account must be obtained by a draft on the Postmaster-General for the amount required, such draft to be countersigned by the officer appointed to do so, and the amount brought to charge as a remittance from the Postmaster-General. If, however, the whole amount of the authorised advance has been obtained, and sufficient time has not elapsed to admit of the last draft being cleared by the Postmaster-General at Wellington, a telegram stating the additional sum required, countersigned as an ordinary draft, must be sent to the Controller. The original telegram must be sent to the Controller in support of entry in the daily Cash Account.
-
Each Chief Postmaster is authorised to retain a fixed sum, called a “Reserve Balance,” for payments on Post Office Account, and such sum should be kept in the bank with which for the time being the Account of the Government of the Colony of New Zealand is kept (or at such other bank as may be specially directed by the Postmaster-General), in an Official Deposit Account to be opened under the designation of “The Chief Postmaster’s Deposit Account.”
-
Whenever the balance in hand exceeds the amount of the Reserve Balance by one-third, the whole excess, consisting of a multiple of £10, must be paid to the Post Office Account. A report of the lodgment on Form Acct. No. 19 must be sent to the Controller by the first mail despatched after the lodgment has been made; and a receipt, also on Form Acct. No. 19, must be taken from the bank and sent in with the Post Office Daily Cash Account in which credit for the amount is claimed.
