on the premises, or 2s. 6d. if not resident on the premises.
In addition, if the attendance of any officer is required beyond
a period of half an hour, such attendance shall be paid for
at the rate of overtime fixed by the Department's regulations.
18. The applicant for a toll communication over a telegraph
circuit shall in all cases make his own arrangements for the
attendance of the person with whom he desires to communicate,
and any permission required by telegraph for the joining-
through of any circuit which may be required to effect the
connection shall be obtained by a reply-paid telegram. The
service shall be available on Sundays and at other times
approved by the Minister, usually between midnight and
8 a.m., when the telegraph circuits are not in use for ordinary
purposes. The charges for such communications shall be
those prescribed for the use of toll lines, together with any

required at the office of origin or destination, or at any intermediate office.
