31A. “Urgent” multiple-address telegrams shall be accepted at the above tariff, plus a special charge of 6d. in respect of each address.

31B. All the addresses in a multiple telegram shall be in the same city or town and shall be written before the text. Telegrams addressed to different offices or those bearing a common text but presented as separate messages shall not be accepted at multiple rates. In multiple telegrams, each address shall be complete in itself; consequently the office of destination shall appear as many times as there are names of addressees.

31C. The number of addresses in a multiple telegram shall be indicated to the office of destination by the insertion of “T.M. (number of addresses)” in the “Instructions”; but this information shall be omitted from the message actually delivered, which shall show one address only, unless the sender has inserted and paid for the instruction “Communicate all addresses.”

31D. Multiple telegrams shall not be sent “Collect.”

Charges for Telegrams outside Ordinary Hours of Business.

38. Telegrams shall be accepted and transmitted from any to any telegraph or telephone office at any time outside the ordinary hours of business (provided the attention of the terminal office can be obtained) on prepayment of the following rates and fees:—

Where the Postmaster is resident on the premises:—

Reopening fee, 1s.; special delivery fee, 1s.; tariff, ordinary.

Where the Postmaster is not resident on the premises:—

Reopening fee, 2s. 6d.; special delivery fee, 1s.; tariff, ordinary.

When in attendance for press, testing, or departmental business, other than telegraphic:—

Reopening fee, nil; special delivery fee, 1s.; tariff, ordinary.

39. If more telegrams than one are handed in together by the same person, the reopening fee shall be charged on one telegram only. The special-delivery fee includes the charge for reopening the receiving office—that is to say, the office which receives the message from the forwarding office—and for effecting delivery of the message within the free delivery area.

40. Should the attendance of any officer be required beyond a period of twenty minutes, such additional attendance shall be paid for at the rate of 1s. for each twenty minutes or fraction thereof.

41. Charges for ferries, tolls, or for any extra cost incurred in delivery shall be paid by the sender at the time of presenting the telegram. The sender shall be liable also for short charges should it be subsequently found that the amount collected for carriage was insufficient.

Letter-telegrams (Inland).

83. (1) Subject to the conditions set out hereunder, letter-telegrams shall be accepted at any telegraph or telephone office for transmission within the Dominion.

(2) They must be written in plain English or Maori language. No code or cipher words will be permitted, but code addresses or code signatures will be permitted. Trade terms in general use, such as f.o.b., c.i.f., will be allowed. Figures will be permitted only in the address and signature. When required to be used in the text, numbers must be written in words. A telephone number may not be used as a portion of the address.

(3) They may not be sent as “Urgent,” “Collect,” or “Multiple” telegrams, and such instructions as “Repetition paid” will not be permitted; but “reply-paid” telegrams will be accepted.

(4) They may be accepted throughout the day up to the time of closing of either the office of origin or the office of destination, whichever is the earlier. Should the delivery office be closed for the day, the name of an office that is still open may be added to the address and the message posted from the latter office.

(5) They may not be accepted on Sundays or departmental holidays.

(6) The charges for letter-telegrams shall be as prescribed in Regulations 5A and 5B.

(7) A letter-telegram will be delivered by post on the morning of the day following the day of lodgment, except that when the day of lodgment immediately precedes a Sunday or departmental holiday delivery will be made on the morning of the day following the Sunday or departmental holiday.
