5. No private box can be held in the joint names of a number of persons unless it is known that the applicants are in business partnership. Private persons are not permitted to join in renting a private box. Subject to the above restrictions, any person can have a private box who is willing to pay the appointed fee. No person can be permitted to engage a private box for Sunday or for a certain day or certain days only.

6. Letters directed to any person or firm renting a private box, and letters directed to the care of the box-holder, will be deposited in the box, unless written notice is given to the contrary. It must be understood, however, that the Department can only undertake to place letters for any persons (except the principals) in private boxes when they are addressed to the care of the box-holders; thus, Wm. Brown, usually having letters addressed to the care of Robert Jones, Box 700, Auckland, would not be entitled to have a letter addressed “Wm. Brown, Auckland,” “Wm. Brown, Post-office, Auckland,” or “Wm. Brown, Fort Street, Auckland,” placed in private Box No. 700. If the letter could not be delivered by letter-carrier, it would be kept with other letters until called for. The registered and unpaid correspondence addressed to a private box will be retained by the delivery-clerk, and the box-holder notified by means of cards placed in the box.

7. Private-box lobbies at chief post-offices are open as follows:—

At all other offices the hours are irregular, and vary from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. or 11 p.m., and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., according to local requirements and facilities. The lobbies are also open on Sundays and holidays, but at irregular hours.

8. Call-boxes.—Each call-box is open to postal officers only. It is fitted with a fixed glass front, through which the holder may see the contents.

9. A call-box is placed within the post-office at which it is situated, and is therefore at the disposal of the holder during the hours only that the office is open to the public.

10. The holder of a call-box is entitled to claim at his convenience delivery of the contents of the box by the Postmaster or his officers.

11. A person living within the delivery known as a letter-carrier's delivery may rent a call-box, and by that means may obtain mail-matter addressed to him arriving between two deliveries made and to be made by letter-carrier.

12. The fee for rent of a call-box is two shillings and sixpence (2s. 6d.) per annum.

13. The conditions of tenure and use of a call-box are the same as those prescribed in the foregoing regulations in respect of private boxes, so far as they apply.
