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.
