M.O.T.s, how prepared for transmission.

  1. In granting a money-order telegram payable within the Dominion, the proper form of order (Acct. 38) must be filled up by the issuing officer, with the name and address of the payee, the name of the office at which payment is to be made, the appropriate code-word (see table of code-words, Acct. 313, also page ), the name of the remitter, the amount in figures and words, and, if an urgent money-order telegram is required, the word “Urgent” entered in the space set apart for the instructions. The order must then be signed by the Postmaster, dated with the office-stamp, and immediately handed in at the telegraph-office by an officer of the Department for transmission by telegraph. The order must not, under any circumstances, be handed to the remitter.

M.O.T.s for payees at places not money-order offices.

  1. When a money-order telegram is issued for payment to a person residing in a place where no provision has been made for the issue and payment of money-orders the money-order telegram must be drawn on the nearest money-order office and the words “Post ——” or “Carriage paid,” as the case may be, inserted in the instructions. The name of only one money-order office may appear in the address: thus “John Smith, 14 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington,” is irregular. It should be made clear to the remitter that a money-order telegram may be telegraphed only to the money-order office at which the order is payable.

INTERCOLONIAL MONEY-ORDER TELEGRAMS.

Money-orders may be telegraphed to Australia and Tasmania.

  1. Money-orders for transmission by telegraph may be issued for payment at money-order offices within the Commonwealth of Australia, subject to the following conditions being complied with:—

Issue of I.M.O.T.s.

(b.) On receipt of the amount of the order, the commission (same rates as for a money-order by post), and the telegraph fee at current rates (see table of rates in Post and Telegraph Guide), the Postmaster must prepare an order on the ordinary money-order form next to be issued in the same way as an ordinary money-order, writing legibly and boldly across the face of the order and advice “Telegraphed.”
