______

REGULATIONS UNDER THE POST AND TELEGRAPH ACT 1901-1916.

I, THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL in and over the Commonwealth of Australia, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council, hereby make the following amended Regulations under the Post and Telegraph Act 1901-1916, to come into operation forthwith.

Dated this eleventh day of October, 1921.

FORSTER,

Governor-General.

By His Excellency’s Command,

GEO. H. WISE,

Postmaster-General.

_______

Amendments of the Post and Telegraph Regulations 1913.

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

1. Regulation 52 is amended by adding the following words:—

“, but if, on receiving an article surcharged as above, the addressee opens it in the presence of the postmaster and it is found to contain only matter that is entitled to pass at packet rate, the surcharge shall be remitted.”

2. Regulation 263 is repealed, and the following regulation is inserted in its stead:—

263. When articles sent in execution of an order from one individual must necessarily on account of weight be forwarded in one or more parcels, which are posted at the same time and to the same address, a single remittance for the whole order may be arranged provided that the sender indicates the total amount in one sum. In that case the addressee shall pay the total amount and take delivery of all the parcels at the same time. If, however, the sender desires to give the addressee the option of taking delivery of the parcels in instalments, the sender must indicate the value of each parcel which, less commission on the money order or poundage on postal notes, as the case may be, shall be remitted as soon as delivery is taken of each parcel. In the latter case, however, the certificate provided for in regulation 262 must specify that, to the best of the sender's knowledge, the articles are for the bonâ fide personal use of the addressee.
