" 2 " 13 "

[Sidenote: If commuted rate not prepaid.]
When the above rates are not paid in advance by either the publisher or
subscriber the papers are charged 1 cent each on delivery.
[Sidenote: Payment of commuted rate.]
It is not necessary that the commuted rate on newspapers should be paid
absolutely on the first day of each quarter. The regulation is intended
to be carried out with all possible consideration for the convenience of
the public, and it will be sufficient if the person desiring to pay the
commuted rate declares his intention and offers the payment when first
calling at the office within a reasonable time after the commencement of
the quarter; but after having made his option to pre-pay the commuted
charge, or to pay for his papers as received at one cent each, as the
case may be, postmasters are not expected to alter their newspaper
accounts to allow of a change until the commencement of the next
quarter.
The commuted rate of payment can be accepted from new subscribers during
a quarter for any unexpired period of the quarter not less than a month.
[Sidenote: Transient papers.]
Newspapers published in Canada which are not posted from the office of
publication, must be pre-paid one cent each by postage stamps, otherwise
they will not be forwarded.
[Sidenote: Publishers subscription accounts and receipts.]
Publishers of newspapers in Canada are allowed to enclose in copies of
their papers sent to subscribers, subscription accounts, and receipts
for the same, without rendering them liable to any additional postage.
[Sidenote: Packets of returned papers.]
Packets of unbound newspapers published in Canada may be returned by a
subscriber to the office of publication, at the rate of 2 cents per 8
oz. or fraction of 8oz., which must be pre-paid.
[Sidenote: Rate to United States.]
Transient newspapers addressed to the United States must be pre-paid one
cent each by postage stamp, otherwise they will not be forwarded.
[Sidenote: From United States.]
Newspapers posted in the United States and addressed to Canada are
liable to one cent each on delivery. The stamp <i>paid</i> on these papers
indicates that the United States postage only has been pre-paid, the
Canadian rate of one cent remaining to be collected.
[Sidenote: American papers.]
American newspapers posted or re-posted in Canada must be prepaid one
cent each, by stamp, otherwise they will not be forwarded.
[Sidenote: Commuted rate not applicable to U.S. papers.]
