Telephone Regulations.
Regulation 52 under this head (Statutory Rules, 1911, No. 215) is amended by repealing Sub-regulation (1) and inserting in its stead the following Sub-regulation:—
(1) Subscribers to Telephone Exchanges may use the trunk lines when required, by paying the trunk line fees prescribed by Regulation 51 for each connexion of three minutes duration or fraction thereof, if a sum of money equal to their estimated requirements for one mouth, but not less than Five shillings, be deposited in advance. Provided, however, that any subscriber, not being a depositor, desiring to speak over a trunk line without attending at a public telephone, may lodge at the General Post Office or at the Exchange to which he is connected, the prescribed fee for a single call, which call must be effected within twenty-four hours of the payment. When accounts are rendered reimbursements must be promptly made. No connexion will be made after notification that the advance has been exhausted until such advance has been renewed.
