into his Money-order Issued Statement for the period during which the advices are received, care being taken to insert the letters “P.W.” in the column headed “Country.” The statement received with the advices is then to be filed in lieu of the usual requisitions.
FREE MONEY-ORDERS.
-
All remittances from the public to a Receiver of Land Revenue or Commissioner of Crown Lands, and vice versa, on account of land may be made by means of money-orders or money-order telegrams issued free of commission charge. In the case of money-order telegrams, however, the remitter must be required to pay the usual telegraph fee. No documentary evidence of the right to apply for such orders will be necessary, but they must be sent to, or sent by, those officials, as the case may be, in their official capacity, otherwise commission at the ordinary inland rates will be payable. The Postmaster must write the letters “C.L.” in the commission column of the Money-order Issued Statement as an explanation of the non-charge for commission.
-
Money-orders for deposits—made in connection with applications for land to be balloted for, and drawn in favour of the Receiver of Land Revenue or Commissioner of Crown Lands, should be made payable at the office of issue, with the object of facilitating repayment of the amount of the deposits to unsuccessful applicants.
-
On the application of the tenderer for a mail-service, a free money-order for the amount to be lodged with his tender may be issued. Such orders must be drawn in favour of the Chief Postmaster, and be made payable at the office of issue. The letters “O.H.M.S./M.S.” are to be written in the commission column of the Statement of Money-orders Issued, against the entry of particulars of the order.
-
The orders returned to unsuccessful tenderers or applicants for land must be superscribed by the Chief Postmaster, Receiver of Land Revenue, or Commissioner of Crown Lands as follows: “Repayment to remitter authorized”; and when they are presented for payment they will, assuming the advices thereof are in the possession of the Postmaster, be paid to the remitter, whose receipt will be taken in the usual manner.
-
Free money-orders are also issued on a special form of Savings-bank money-order for the purpose of transmitting to depositors the amounts of withdrawals from Savings-bank accounts (see S.B. Instruction 19). Savings-bank money-orders must not be issued for any purpose other than that for which they were designed.
DOMESTIC MONEY-ORDERS.
- Domestic money-orders may be issued at any money-order office in New Zealand for payment within the Dominion at the residence or place of business of the payee. Such orders may be drawn only on a place where a letter-carrier’s delivery has been established. Where there are two or more money-order offices in the same town the order must be drawn on the principal office. The maximum amount for which a domestic order may be issued is £5. The commission charged will be 4d. for each order. The rules relating to the issue, payment, and transfer of ordinary money-orders must be observed as far as they apply.
