graph Department of the Civil Service, and it is expedient
to amend such regulations in the manner hereinafter

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the
Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of
the powers and authorities conferred upon him by the
Post and Telegraph Act, 1908, and acting by and with
the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the
said Dominion, doth hereby revoke regulation numbered
51 in the Schedule in the aforesaid Order in Council, and
in lieu thereof and otherwise doth hereby make the regu-
lations set forth in the Schedule hereto, and doth order
that such regulations shall be read as part of the regula-
tions first hereinbefore mentioned, and shall have effect
on and after the first day of December, one thousand nine
hundred and ten.

SCHEDULE.

50a. OFFICERS who fail to pass one of the examinations re-
quired by clause 50 hereof within two years from the date
on which they would otherwise by lapse of time become
qualified to be paid the maximum salary of the Eighth
Class shall be promoted to the Seventh Class from the date
only on which they pass the final examination of their
class.

51. Officers in the Seventh Class will be required to
    pass tests of efficiency (to be called the First Examination)
    before they may receive increments beyond £165 per
    annum. The scope of such examination shall be as
    follows:—

For postal officers : (1.) Examination in postal rules and
regulations. Officers continuously employed for five years
prior to the examination in postal duties will be examined
principally in postal work, but will be required to show
reasonable knowledge of the work of other branches.
(2.) The efficiency tests in this examination will consist
principally of practical work.

For telegraph officers : (1.) Examination in operating,
sending and receiving, fifteen minutes each, at the rate
of thirty words a minute. Not more than 1 per centum
of errors will be allowed. Excellence in receiving will
be regarded as compensating for slight failure to attain
the required speed in sending. (2.) In telegraph rules and
regulations, in which officers will be required to show

some practical knowledge of coding and charging tele-
grams. Telegraph counter clerks, despatch clerks, &c.,
will be required to pass a practical examination in their
duties.

For all officers : An examination in the provisions of the
Post and Telegraph Act.

51A. All such officers, before receiving increments beyond
£200 per annum, will be required to pass an oral test of
efficiency to the satisfaction of their immediate controlling
officers in the work usually performed by them.

51B. Before receiving promotion to a class higher than
the Seventh Class officers will be required to pass an
examination (to be called the Second Examination), as
under :—

For postal officers : (1.) A test similar to that for the
first examination, but of a more extensive character.
Officers employed principally in mail-work must show
themselves competent in all the sorting and making-up
of mails done at the office in which they are engaged, and
in addition must show practical knowledge of handling
registered letters and parcels. They must also pass an
examination in postal geography. (2.) Money-order and
savings-bank and counter officers, and those performing
clerical work, must pass in the practical working of their
branches. (3.) The tenor, and sometimes the text, of
rules will form part of the examination, but literal mis-
takes in the text will not be taken into account.

For telegraph officers : An examination in magnetism
and electricity as applied to telegraphy, theoretical and
practical.

For all officers : An examination in the provisions of the
Post and Telegraph Act.

poses mentioned in section seventy-six of the Post Office
Act, 1900: And whereas under section seventy-seven of
the Post and Telegraph Act, 1908 (hereinafter termed
“the said Act”), it is enacted that the limitation of in-
terest-bearing amounts of Post-Office Savings-Bank deposits
therein mentioned shall not apply in the case of such non-
mercantile societies as the Governor from time to time by
Order in Council prescribes: And whereas it is desirable to
extend the prescription of non-mercantile societies in the
manner hereinafter set forth for the purposes of the aforesaid
section seventy-seven:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Do-
minion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers and authorities for that purpose vested in him by the
said Act, and of all other powers and authorities enabling
him in this behalf, and acting by and with the advice and
consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion,

under the Fire Brigades Act, 1908, shall be non-mercantile
societies to which the hereinbefore-mentioned limitation of
