No Press telegrams are accepted during the morning attendance, nor are Press telegrams for evening or weekly newspapers transmitted at any time on Sundays.

† New Year’s Day, Easter Monday, the King’s birthday, and Boxing Day, or any days substituted therefor. Good Friday and Christmas Day are regarded as Sundays for purposes both of attendance and of assessment of rates for Press telegrams.

NOTE.—No charge is made for address and signature up to six words. In assessing the total amount due, fractions of a penny are reckoned as one halfpenny. For rates and conditions under which offices are specially reopened for transmission of Press telegrams, see “Charges when office reopened,” &c. Evening newspapers are newspapers published after noon and before 5 p.m.

CHARGES WHEN OFFICE REOPENED BY SPECIAL REQUEST.

At least six hours’ notice should be given to the local telegraph-office of a desire to have an office specially reopened for Press news.

The fee of 7s. 6d. for reopening an office must be paid by the first applicant, whether another applicant or other applicants have the use of the office specially reopened or not. A second fee will not be charged for the same reopening.
