5. Under these regulations payment may be made only by marked
cheque drawn in favour of the Postmaster of the office of posting
for deposit to the credit of the Receiver General. The cheque must
accompany the mail matter at the time it is posted. The cheque is to
be drawn as follows:
"Pay to the Postmaster of ... for deposit to credit of Receiver
General."
R. M. COULTER.
Deputy Postmaster General.
[253] =Weekly Philatelic Era=, XVIII: 63.
Electrotypes of the "stamp" shown were furnished to all offices where
there was a large output of the class of matter described, and the
permit number was printed in with the impression when the order under
which it was issued was being struck off. The "stamp" is usually printed
in black, but has been seen in dark blue.
In the stamp account for the year ending 30th June, 1903, no returns
were given for mailings under these "Permits", but in 1904 we find that
"Postage Paid in Cash on 3d Class (Printed) Matter" is given as
$53,970.47, while in 1910 it had risen to $256,468.20--a quite
respectable amount for the use of the "Permits".
