Amendment of the Post and Telegraph Regulations.

(Statutory Rules 1913, No. 348, as amended to this date.)

Regulation 402 is amended by omitting paragraph (b) and inserting in its stead the following paragraph:—

“(b) The word forming the code indicator must be easy to read and easy to telegraph. Proper names shall only be registered in cases where it is considered locally that the registration of such name is not likely to give rise to confusion. A proper name containing more than ten letters may be registered as a code indicator, but shall be counted at the rate of one word for every ten letters or part thereof. In no case shall a proper name be registered for a person, firm, or company of a different name.”
