That the Provincial Postage on Newspapers, Pamphlets, Magazines and
Printed Books, shall remain such as it now is until it be altered by
regulation under this Act.... Provided always, that one copy of each
newspaper published in this Province may be sent free from postage
to any Publisher of another Newspaper in this Province, that all
printed documents addressed to the Publisher of any Newspaper in
this Province shall be delivered to him free, and that all
Newspapers published in this Province and addressed to Subscribers
in the United States, shall pass free to the Provincial line, under
such regulations as the Governor in Council shall make to prevent
the abuse of the privileges hereby granted:
And, subject to the foregoing provisions of this section and to the
other express provisions of this Act, the Governor in Council shall
have full power and authority ... for establishing the rates of
postage on Newspapers and Printed Pamphlets, Magazines and Books,
and for declaring what shall be deemed such, or directing that in
any case or class of cases they be free of postage, either in the
first instance or the case of their being re-mailed, ... for the
preparing and distributing of Provincial stamps for pre-payment, for
limiting the weight and dimensions of letters or packets to be sent
by Post ... for prescribing the conditions and circumstances under
which letters, accounts and papers relating solely to the business
of the Post Office, and addressed to or sent by some officer
thereof, shall be free from Provincial Postage, ... for providing,
when he shall think it expedient, means for avoiding the risk of
transmitting small sums of money through the Post, by establishing a
system of money orders to be granted by one Post Master or officer
of the Department on another, and fixing the terms on which such
orders may be obtained, for establishing a system for the
Registering of letters and the charge[6] be made for such
registration, ... for the delivery of letters and packets in the
larger and more populous Cities and Towns, at the residences of
parties to whom they are addressed, and fixing the limits within
which such delivery shall take place, and the rates to be paid by
the parties who shall prefer to have their letters and packets so
delivered, rather than apply for them at the Post Office: ... and
generally to make such regulations as may be deemed necessary for
the due and effective working of the Post and Postal business and
arrangements, and for carrying this Act fully into effect:
