✨ Money Order Regulations
pared with the entries in the relative statements of money-orders issued, and then forwarded to the Controller, Wellington, by the first opportunity. As the requisitions are used for the purpose of listing the orders to money-order exchange offices abroad, they must be given the utmost despatch after receipt of the periodical accounts from sub-offices.
-
On the advices of orders drawn on the United States of America and Canada, the amount payable must be stated in the currency of these countries, at the Chief Offices where the orders are entered on the advice lists. This amount must be placed at the right-hand top corner of each advice, immediately below the amount in figures. Special rubber stamps are supplied to Chief Offices for the purpose.
-
The advices for the United States and Canada must be entered at each Chief Office on forms of advice lists, all the particulars being inserted which are required by the headings of the forms except the “Current number of international order,” which will be filled in at the Auckland or Wellington Office.
-
The lists for the United States and Canada must be numbered consecutively, commencing with No. 1 with the first list prepared in July, and ending with the last list despatched in June each year. The first lists despatched in July each year will therefore contain the balance of June issues as well as those issued in July up to the time of the closing of the mail.
-
Before commencing to write up a list, the advices should be thoroughly examined with a view to excluding any but those intended for payment in, or through the medium of, the country for which the list is about to be prepared.
-
In compiling the lists, the advices must as far as possible be entered alphabetically as regards the office of issue, and in numerical sequence for each of these offices. The bulk of the advices should be sorted and entered in one group, to be followed by a supplementary group consisting of the late issues.
(a.) When advice of payment is required for an order the letters A.P. must be written against the entry of the order in the advice list.
-
After completion, the advice lists for the United States and Canada, together with the advices, must be despatched to the Chief Postmaster, Auckland or Wellington, as the case may be, in the special envelope (Env. 42), which must be registered.
-
The first or top copy must be treated as the original, and this, together with one other copy, must be despatched with the advices, except in the case of Canada, when the second copy is to be despatched from the exchange offices by the following mail. Before folding the list up, however, the sheets should be backed by plain tissue paper, in order to prevent the impressions being transferred from one sheet to another.
-
Immediately after the departure of the mail for Auckland or Wellington, a telegram on the form provided for the purpose (Acct. 310) must be sent by the Chief Postmaster to the Chief Postmaster, Auckland or Wellington, giving such particulars of the lists for the United States and Canada as are indicated by the form. If no lists have been despatched, a telegram to that effect should be sent.
