SCHEDULE.
TRANSMISSION OF TELEGRAMS BY TELEPHONE.

1. (1.) SUBSCRIBERS to telephone exchanges and owners of private lines connected with telephone bureaux may, by pre-arrangement in writing with the telegraph office, have telegraphic messages which are addressed to them forwarded by telephone from the office of destination to their business or private addresses. Such messages shall, after transmission, be posted for delivery to such addresses and be marked on the front “Transmitted by telephone.”

(2.) Subscribers and owners of private lines may, upon application on the form provided, telephone to any telegraph office connected with a telephone exchange, during the ordinary hours of telegraph attendance, if the exchange is open, messages to be further transmitted as telegrams from the telegraph office to the respective destinations of such messages, provided the usual cost of such telegrams is paid in addition to the fees prescribed for that service.

2. If desired, short Press messages up to fifty words may be telephoned to newspapers the proprietors of which are subscribers to a telephone exchange, and who agree to pay the fee for so doing. After being telephoned, such messages shall be delivered by messenger, when their values (if “collect”), together with the fee for telephoning, shall be collected.

3. The provisions of the foregoing regulations may be availed of during the ordinary hours for attendance of officers at the telegraph office, except in the case of offices where officers are on duty until 10 p.m., when telegrams may be telephoned up to that hour.

4. (1.) At all offices where provision is made for the delivery of telegrams, the charges for messages telephoned over a subscriber’s line or that of a private-wire owner from or to a destination within the limits of the free delivery of telegrams, shall be as follows:—

For each separate transmission, if the telephone conversation does not exceed three minutes .. .. .. .. £ 0 0 3
For each additional three minutes or fraction thereof .. .. .. .. 0 0 3

One conversation may include two or more messages.

(2.) No charge shall be made for messages telephoned over a subscriber’s line, or that of a private-wire owner, from or to a destination beyond the limits of the free delivery of telegrams, or for messages telephoned from an office where the delivery of telegrams is not provided for.

(3.) Subscribers to a telephone exchange at a central office, whose telegrams are addressed to a sub-office connected therewith, may have such telegrams transmitted by telephone from the sub-office through that exchange on payment of the fees prescribed above.

(4.) No charge shall be made for messages telephoned over privately owned telephone lines connected with an office not in charge of a permanent officer of the Post and Telegraph Department.

5. Free service shall not extend beyond the transmission of fifty words at a time if the telephone is required for any other purpose.

6. The fee payable in respect of the transmission by telephone of any message telephoned from a telegraph office to a subscriber or private-wire owner under these regulations is to be affixed in stamps to a docket which will be provided, and which must be delivered to the telegraph office immediately after the message has been telephoned.

7. The transcribed copies of messages telephoned by subscribers to telephone exchanges, or by private-line owners, shall, so far as the Department is concerned, become the original telegrams, and the Department will not assume or be subject to any liability by reason or on account of any failure, delay, or mistake in or about the transmission, receipt, or delivery of any telegram under this system, from whatever cause the same may arise. Messages shall only be received upon the understanding that the Department’s counting and charging are accepted without question.

8. On payment of 3d. in addition to the charge at the prescribed rates for the transmission of any telegram, the sender of a telegram may insert in the place reserved therein for instructions the direction “To be telephoned,” and thereupon such telegram, upon arrival at the telegraph office of destination, shall be forthwith telephoned through the telephone exchange to the addressee, if such addressee is a subscriber to that exchange; and in other respects the provisions made for the transmission of telegrams to addressees through telephone exchanges at their own request shall, as far as applicable, apply to such telegram.

9. The Department shall reserve the right to exclude any person from the privilege of sending or receiving telegrams by telephone under this system until any arrears of fees or charges which may be due are fully paid, and to demand a deposit before or at any time after registering any application.
