84. On the recommendation of the Medical Officer, patients, whether officers or men, provided they reside within a radius of 2 miles from Naval Staff Office, may be treated at their own homes by the Medical Officer of the Forces.

85. Patients residing more than 2 miles from the Naval Staff Office, may, at their own request, and with the approval of the Medical Officer, be treated at their homes, but in such cases the patient will—

(a) provide medical attendance at his own cost;

(b) furnish a medical certificate covering the period of absence, and re-endorsed by the Medical Officer to the Naval Department,

86. District Naval Officers will issue orders to insure—

PART XI.—POSTAGE AND TELEGRAMS.

Postage.

89 (a) The correct amount of postage shall, in all cases, be determined before letters and packets are despatched, and no unnecessary papers are to be sent through the post. The cost of such postage shall be defrayed by means of postage stamps marked “O.S.,” which shall be obtained on purchase from the Deputy Postmaster-General.

(b) Except in very special cases, large files of papers shall not be transmitted through the post. Book or packet post must, as far as possible, be utilized for returns, &c., so as to insure the cheapest rate.

(c) In transmitting correspondence through the post, care should be taken that any documents sent separately as “Commercial papers” or “Packet post” are posted at the same time.

Telegrams.

90. Telegraphic communications must be limited to messages of urgency on the public service, and recourse shall only be had to telegraphic communication in cases where the delay involved in the transmission of a letter by post would be prejudicial to the public service. Cablegrams shall not be sent to places outside the Commonwealth without authority from the Naval Board.

91. To be admitted as charges against the public, the sums expended must be vouched by copies of the telegrams sent, save in the case of telegrams sent personally by members of the Naval Board or District Naval Officers; and all such copies of telegrams shall be forwarded to the Authorizing Officer when claiming reimbursement for stamps expended. It shall be the duty of the Paymaster to bring under the notice of the District Naval Officer any telegrams which do not appear to be in strict compliance with the Regulations.

(a) The repetition of a message must be obtained as a “paid service message” through the delivering office, and not by means of a fresh message exchanged between sender and receiver.

(b) In the event, however, of any messages being improperly sent as on the public service, or of any messages not being of sufficient urgency or importance, the Officers or others sending them will be called upon to defray the cost.

(c) “O.S.” stamps are not to be used on telegraphic messages relating to leave of absence or private business sent by Officers of the Naval Forces and its departments for the personal convenience of the senders or receivers. The cost of such messages shall not be admissible as a charge against the public.

(d) In the preparation of telegrams all unnecessary wording must be avoided.

Accounts.
