SYSTIOI. 1. — Money Order.s are made out in forms supplied for the use of the Money Order Odiees. 2. — Persons applying I'or Money Orders arc recommended to use printed " Application Porms," printed for tliiil purpose. 3. — Place of payment of a Money Order may be clianged in ac- cordance witli instructions provided therefor. 4. — Alteraticm of payee's name may lie ellected i)y issue of a new Order ontl payment of commission thereon. 5. — Ai)plicants for Money Oi'ders are exjiected to observe due care in tlie examinatiou of tlie same, relative to lilliug and stamj)- ing ; defect in Orders, wlien presented for i)ayuient, may cause ditliculty and delay, for -wliicli the paying oltice is not to be held accountable. 6. — Postmasters should be particularly careful to obtain from the person who presents a Money Order, whether the rightful owner or not, full information as to the eliristiun name, surnanu' and address of the party Avho originally obtainctl it, unless such party 1)e a Arm, when the naine of tlie linn will sulhce. 71ie oiih/ excejttiitn t(> this rule is — When an Order is presentcil through the Bank, in which case it will snlliee that the Order, 1)eiug projiei'ly signed, be also crossed with the Banker's name. 7. — As however, after once iia>jin,[i a Mnn()j Order, hij vhomsoccer presented, the offiee irifi uot he liahle to aii;i fnvfht r rlaim, the public are strictly cautioned, — 1st — To take all means lo prevent the loss of the Money Order. 2nd — To be careful on taking out an (M-dcr, to state eorrectl\- tlie ehristiiin as well as the surname of the person in wliose favor it is drawn. ard — To see tluit the name of the person taking out tlic Mone\' Order is correctly known to the |)erson in whose favor it Is drawn. 8. — Payment of a Money ()rder must b(> obtained before the end of the sixth calendar month after that in which it was issued, otherwise a new Order will be necessary, for which a second com- the fol- •oni .$10 to ijjiW, 1' Inlaiul ;. ; li'Olu £10, 3s. iHcr Ed- ElO, L's. ; nouut of 'roiii 810 840, 40 ; closing lie use ol' 0(1 to use e<l iu ;ic- ol'n new ervo (.hie I staniit- av e.'Uise )e held ain IVoni riuhtfnl surname OSS such Thv onhj niixh the proj)erl,v in))isnri'CI' le [)uhlie 'v Order. •orrectly )erson in Money ise favor tlie end ; is.sued, nul coni- TIIE NEWFOUNDLAND ALMANAC. 39 mirtsion will l)e charged ; and if the Order he not paid before the twcUth (uilendar month after that in which it was issued, all claims to the money will be lost.

Suggestions to tlie Public. Facility will be given to the Post Ohice in the discharge of its daily duties, and greater security afl'orded to the public, by careful attention to tlu; foUoNVing reconun(!ndations : Post all Letters, Newspai»ers, &c., as early an practicable, espe- cially when sent in large bundles. When a number ol' Newspapers are addressed to the same offlce, put them up in one i)arcel. When a number of Circulars are posted, tie them up iu a bundle, with the address all in one direction. Address letters, papers, &c., in a legible and complete manner, always giving the name of the Post OtUce; and if there be more than one Post Office of that ntime, the name of the district iu which situated. In ease of letters going abroad, the name of the coun- try, as well as of tlie town and city, should be giveu in full. Let- ters, for example, inteniled for Loudon, England, if simply ad- dressed " London," would be forwarded to London, Canada West, and thus be delayed. Letters, Pajiers or Parcels for Out]>orts should have the name of the district, the Post or Way Office, distinctly Avritteu as part of the address. For instance, letters for Bonne Bay, French Shore, are sometimes sent to Bonne Bay, Fortrue Bay District, being simply directed Bonne Bay. There are several settlements named Broad Cove, Little Bay, Phigiish Harbor, Blackhead, Balliue, Ca- l»lin Cove, Deer IshuKl, Flat Islaiuls, Fortune, Fox Cove, Fresh- water, Island Cove, Long Harbor, Burgeo, New Harbor, Salmon Cove, .Seal Cove, Ship Cove; and unless properly directed are liable to go to the wrong office for delivery. The loss and incon- venience arising from imperfect directions are caused by the care- lessness of the sender, and ao blame can attach to the Post Offlce. Other pku'cs besides those named have settlements with corres- ponding appellation ; hence the necessity of being particular in addressing all letters, &c. See that every letter, newspaper or other packet sent by post, is securely foldeil and sealed. Every such i)aeket iias to be several times handled: und even wlieii in the mail l)ag, is exposed to pressure and friction. L'nless, therefore, tlie article be light and pliant, it should be enclosed in strong paper, lineu, parchment, or some other material >vliich will uut readily tear or breaJw Fasteu the covers of newspapers lirinly, so as to prevout them from slipping out. When dropping a letter or newspaper into a letter-box, always see that the packet falls into the box, and does not stick in its pasaage. Never seal letters for the East and West Indies and other hot climutes with wax. Sncli a i)ractice is attended witli much incou- venieuce and frequently with serious injury, in consequence of the melting of the wax and the adhesion of the letters to each other. In all such cases use wafers or ii'uni, and advise your correspond- ents in the country referred to to do the same. Never send money or other articles of value through tlie Post Office, except either by means of a money order or in a registered letter. " Any person wlio sends money or Jewellery in an unregis- tered letter, not only runs the risk of losing his property, but exposes to temptation every one tlirough whose hands Ids letter passes, and may be the means of ultinmtely bringing some clerk or letter-carrier to moral ruin." Carcftilly secure every letter or packet containing money or value, tirst w itii gum and afterwards with good sealing-wax, on Miuch n\ark tlie clear impression of a geal. This only applies to Local correspondence, the forwarding of such articles to other countries 1)eing i)i'ohibited. On posting a registered letter or packet, alwayf! obtain a receipt for the same at the odice wliere posted. When letters or newspapers are delayed and missing, at once communicate the lact to the Postmaster of the Division in wliich Is situated the Post OtHce at whicli the delayed or missing letters were posted. In case of a missing letter, enclosing value, state the exact contents, the exact address, and the oillce at wiiich posted; the name of the person by whom ijosted, and the name of the person by whom received at tiie ollice. In the case of a de- layed letter or paper, send the cover or wrapper in an entire state, in order that the place of delay may ije ascertained by an exanuu- atiou of the post marks. Trouble and loss occasi<mally arise out of the carelessness or dishonesty of parties employed in the Post Oflice service; yet in- stances are not wanting in which it has been shown to the' satis- faqtion even of the complainants, that the fault at ilrst attributed to the Post Ollice, in truth rested in other ([uarters. Theft by private hands, although very dillicult of proof, lias freciuently beeia brought to light ; and it is greatly to be desired that those who s^fl'er loss should, in the first instance, and while the circum- stances are fresh, endeavor to ascertain with the utmost precision all particulars respecting the despatch or receipt of the lost letters or papers, and lose no time in communicating tliis information to the Postmaster. Indeed, generally speaking, it is only bv careful inquiry into nduutc details that the ollbnder can be tleCected, whe- tlicr he be a servant of a department or not. The Post Office is a department which admits of constant im- provement and expansion. The public, l)y sending to the Post- master-General clear and correct information respecting faulty arrangements, may materially l)enefit the service. It must be remembered, however, that changes in machinery so extensive and intricate as that of the Post Oillce, must be made cautiously and witiU much previous consideration. Time is generally required to carry out any material change in postal arrangements ; for even when decided upon, old contracts I THE NEWFOUNDLAND ALMANAC. 41 le ss ov et in- satis- biited oft by y l)ecMi who iicum- cision ettcrs ion to careful whe- at im- rost- luulty list be ;eusive tiously I'cqulriiif^ notice of termination may have to be got rid of, jiud tenders for new contracts invited by public advertisemcuts, before tlie dicisiou can take ettect. New Post Offices are established l)y the Department wherever it is ascertained that a sulHcicnt number of Inhabitant;* can be ac- commodated, and a sufficient amount of postal revenue collected to warrant such a mearnre When a new Post Office is required, a petition should l)e addressed to the Postmaster-General, signed by as many of the inhabitants as can conveniently subscribe the sajne. The petition should state the name of the settlement and district in which it is desired the office should be established ; the distance from the neighboring offices ; whether at the site of the proposed Post Office there is a village ; the number of mills, stores, taverns, and houses thereat ; the extent of the settlement to be served, and the prolmble cost of the mail ; together with any other facts which may form any ground for the accommodation ap- plied for.
