✨ Telegraphic Addresses and Rates
JULY 5.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 2049
application should not merely offer one word for acceptance, but should give several words, from which a selection may be made.
7. All addresses registered for delivery within the London postal area must contain the name “London.” The name of a district in the postal area of a town cannot be substituted for the name of the town.
8. No address may be registered in one town for the delivery of telegrams in another town.
9. A registered address is available for telegrams from abroad as well as for inland telegrams.
10. The Department reserves to itself the right to cancel an address. In such a case a part of the registration fee proportionate to the unexpired period is returned, or a new address may be substituted for the one cancelled.
11. In the event of a change in the title of a firm for which an address is recorded, the consent, in writing, of all the partners of the firm must be produced before the records can be altered.
12. If it be desired that a registered address should be published in Sell’s Directory of Registered Telegraphic Addresses, that fact should be clearly intimated to the Department at the time of registration. No charge is made for publication in this Directory.
13. The fee for the registration of an abbreviated telegraphic address is £1 1s. per annum from the date of registration. In London cheques or money-orders sent in payment of the fee should be made payable to the Postmaster-General and crossed “Bank of England.” In the provinces payment should be made to the Postmaster of the town in which the registration is effected.
14. The Department does not recommend the use of abbreviated addresses. The references which have to be made in order to supply the corresponding full addresses inevitably lead to delay.
TABLES OF RATES, INCLUDING ALL TELEGRAPH CHARGES FOR TELEGRAMS DESPATCHED TO PLACES BEYOND NEW ZEALAND.
THE New Zealand inland charge included in these rates on cable messages (excepting Press messages), is ½d. per word on Australian-New Zealand telegrams, and 1d. per word on others, called International. Words contained in the address and signature are counted as part of each telegram.
For “urgent” messages treble the following rates are charged throughout. Telegrams are also accepted “Urgent New Zealand lines,” in which case two inland rates are charged. In assessing the total amount due, any fractions of a penny remaining will be charged as a full penny in the case of all international cable messages and Government cable messages to Australia.
As Atlantic companies do not accept multiple telegrams addressed to several persons in the same town, such multiple telegrams cannot be accepted for America or Europe when directed “Via Pacific.”
When the office of destination does not appear in the Official Nomenclature, the name of the country or State will be inserted free.
Books of telegram-forms superscribed “Via Pacific,” for despatch of telegrams by the Pacific cable are issued free of charge.
