TELEGRAMS. Art. 1214. At Government expense.-Telegraphing at T. D. 33716. Government expense will be used only on important matters, and when the ordinary mail facilities fail to afford sufficient dispatch. Telegrams shall contain only the surname and official title of the addressee and sender, omitting such portions of the title as are unnecessary for identification, and also omitting in the body of the telegram all unnecessary words. When the sender is known to the addressee, the whole title should be omitted. Telegrams, except those demanding immediate attention and of a nature that action can be taken on the day of sending, will be filed for transmission as night messages at night rates. Telegrams received at Washington after office hours will not be acted upon until the following day unless such action is absolutely necessary. In determining whether a telegram should be filed as a night message, consideration should be given to the difference in time between the two points, to the length of time required for transmitting and delivering the telegram, and the closing time of the office to which the message is addressed. Official telegrams that are not prepaid must be marked "Official business. Collect. Government rate." Art. 1215. At expense of senders.-Telegrams relating to official business sent by customs officers for the accommodation of private parties must be paid for both ways by such parties. Art. 1216. Payment.-Telegrams passing between collectors and their subordinates and between the subordinates of such officers will be paid for in advance at Government rates by the officers sending them, except when sent from or to a place where the sender or receiver is regularly stationed, in which latter case the charge may be paid by either. When it is desired that it be paid by the addressee, the sender will indorse on the message the following: "Official business. Collect. Government rates." The officer paying for such message must retain a copy of it (written in ink), which will accompany his expense account as a voucher, the receipt of the person receiving the money being appended in the following form: in full payment for the above dispatch, the Received $ charge being at Government rates. Official telegrams sent over the wires of the Postal Telegraph-Cable and Western Union Telegraph Companies by and to the chief officers of the Department at Washington should not be prepaid. Amounts paid for telegrams in excess of Government rates will be disallowed by the accounting officers of the Department. The rates annually established by the Postmaster General will be published from time to time for the information of customs officers. Merchandise. See also Unclaimed merchandise.
