branch is to sign a receipt on a suitable official record in the
branch in question. The hour at which the transfer takes place
is also to be entered.

(c.) Each official key (or bunch of official keys) is to have
attached to it a metal tag (stocked by the Stores Manager)
bearing the words “Finder will receive 2s. 6d. reward at any
police-station.” In the event of the recovery from a police-
station of official keys that have been lost, the reward is to be
paid to the finder by the officer responsible for the loss.

(d.) When official keys are required to be cut, the work will be
done in the Department’s workshops at Wellington. The speci-
men keys are to be sent to the Stores Manager, except when the
Secretary’s authority for cutting is required, in which cases the
specimens are to accompany the application for authority.

    is to be flown on—

and, in the province only, on the Anniversary Day of the province.
The flag is also to be flown on the occasion of an official visit by
His Excellency the Governor-General; also on local festival days
on special permission being obtained from the Secretary.

(b.) Flags are not to be flown on Sundays. When a day on
which flags would be flown falls on a Sunday the flag is to be
hoisted on the following Monday.

(c.) Local controlling officers are responsible for seeing that the
flag is flown on the authorized days. A reminder will not be sent
from the General Post Office.

  1. The ensign is on no account to be used for signalling
    purposes.

  2. The ensign must not be flown at half-mast without special
    authority of the Secretary. In the event of the death of a foreign
    Sovereign, the Secretary will authorize the flying of the flag half-
    mast on the day of the Sovereign’s death, and also on that of the
    funeral.

  3. When a departmental flag is in need of repair the work of
    repairing is to be done locally. Flags must be kept in good repair
    and not allowed to remain frayed at the edges. They are not to
    be flown when the bunting is either blown away or ripped to such
    an extent that the stars are likely to be affected.

LEASES.

  1. (a.) Chief Postmasters will keep a record of the date of the
    termination of the lease by or to the Department of any buildings
    or sites in their districts, and in good time remind the Secretary of
    the approaching termination.
