Temporary employés shall be treated in the same manner as permanent officers as regards gazetted public holidays; on other occasions leave to be granted by the Department without pay.”
“152. For journeys occupying less than one-fourth of a day, actual expenses only shall be allowed. All travelling allowances shall be in addition to the cost of conveyance.
The period for which travelling allowances may be claimed shall be computed from the time of departure of the train, steamer, or other conveyance by which officers travel.”
“199. Every applicant for appointment as telegraph messenger must be between the ages of thirteen and fifteen years at date of examination. Every applicant nominated for appointment as telegraph messenger must be not less than thirteen nor more than fifteen years ofage at his last birthday previous to appointment, and must cease to be so employed when he attains the age of eighteen years, unless in the meantime he has been transferred or promoted to some other position in the service for which he has qualified by passing the required examination.
Provided, however, that no person shall be appointed as telegraph messenger is the State of Western Australia under the age of fourteen years.”
“209. Each candidate for appointment to the Professional or Clerical Division shall furnish with his application a certificate of character from his employer, a clergyman, a teacher, or a justice of the peace; and successful candidates shall forward to the Commissioner within fourteen days of a request being made therefor, a properly certified extract from an official registrar of births, or other satisfactory evidence of age, together with a certificate, from a medical practitioner registered within the Commonwealth, of sound bodily health and freedom from physical defects; otherwise his name may be removed from the Register.
Provided that at the option of candidates such certificates may be forwarded prior to examination.”

If an applicant fails to comply with this regulation he will not be allowed to present himself for examination. The amount paid will be refunded if the applicant is found to be ineligible for examination, or if satisfactory reasons are furnished as to inability to attend an examination.
The application must specify the centre at which the intending candidate wishes to be examined.”
