The charge for 10 words wiU be feduced by a one-half of what is charged at present. After the first 10 words the charges wiU increase at a rate, per word instead of per 10 words, and 25 words as hitherto. With a view to curtailing addresses which are , now frequently unnecessarily long, and seriously impede the progress of business, the address and signature of aU Telegrams wiU be charged, in fact, aU matter written and presented for transmission by the sender of any Telegram wiU be charged at the tariff rates. Instructions as to thp deUvery of Telegrams, ■ whether by post, special messenger, boat, or otherwise will be telegraphed by the officer in» , charge of any station, to the receiving station free of expense to the sender of the Telegram. These instructions together with the charges made, wiU be written on the b&ck of the Telegram and signed by the sender. When such instructions are included in addresses or Telegrams, they require to be signaUed twice, and must therefore be paid once when written unnecessarily. . Officers in charge are required to exact; perfeot addresses, to insure the deUvery of Telegrams, and the pubUe wiU be interested in furnishing the shortest and most concise addresses aUowable. Tariffs may be seen at aU the stations, of the Department when every information can be obtained. = * ALFRED SHEATH, General Superintendent. Wellington, 24th March, 1866.
