Amendment of the Telephone Regulations 1913.

(Statutory Rules 1913, No. 349, as amended by Statutory Rules 1917, No. 109.)

Regulation 96 is amended by omitting therefrom paragraph (e) and substituting the following paragraph in its stead: —

(e) Where the line is extended so that more than one point can communicate with the Exchange—

(i) with respect to services which existed, or for which an agreement was entered into, on or before the 13th September, 1916—for each additional point, Ten shillings per annum; and

(ii) with respect to services other than those referred to in the last preceding paragraph—for each additional point, Twenty shillings per annum:

Provided that if any subscriber whose service existed, or for whose service an agreement was entered into on or before the 13th September, 1916, desires to have a telephone provided by the Department, he may do so on payment of Twenty shillings per annum for each additional point:

Provided further that where such lines are erected on the property of the subscriber (whether or not they pass over public roads or railways) and terminate on a switchboard or other similar apparatus on his own property, and are used solely by the subscriber on his own business, the licence fee prescribed in Regulation 79 shall be the only fee charged.
