Amendment of the Telephone Regulations, 1913.

(Statutory Rules 1913, No. 349, as amended to this date.)

Regulation 29 is amended by omitting sub-regulation 1 thereof and inserting the following sub-regulation in its stead:—

29. (1) A subscriber to a Telephone Exchange, or a person renting a telephone from the Department, may, on application, in writing, to the Deputy Postmaster-General, have the telephone used by him fitted with a control lock, into which it is necessary to insert a key before any person can originate a call. While the lock will prevent unauthorized use of the telephone for the purpose of calling, it will not, even in the absence of the key, prevent the user from being called, or interfere with speaking. The charge for installing and maintaining the lock and providing one key is Two shillings and sixpence per annum; additional keys may be obtained on payment of Two shillings and sixpence for each key. The number of keys which will be supplied for use in connexion with any telephone will be limited to five.
