And finally in 1903 the maximum amount of a money order was raised from £10 to £40 and the following rates established:[695]-- _d._ For sums not exceeding £1 2 For sums above £1 but not exceeding £3 3 £3 £10 4 £10 £20 6 £20 £30 8 £30 £40 10 In addition to the reductions in rates which have been outlined above, other changes have been made which have resulted in certain cases in a saving to the transmitter of a money order. The charge for correcting or altering the name of the remitter or payee of an inland order has been reduced to the fixed sum of a penny. The fee payable for stopping payment of an inland order was fixed at 4_d._, and this was made to cover the issue of a new order if the request was made at the time of stopping payment. A penny stamp need no longer be affixed to a money order when payment is deferred and payment may be deferred for any period not exceeding ten days.[696] [695] _Rep. P. G._, 1896, pp. 26-32; 1897, pp. 10-11; 1904, pp. 11-12; 1906, p. 1. [696] _Ibid._, 1897, pp. 10-11. The issue of telegraph money orders, commenced in 1889 as an experiment, was in 1892 extended to all money order offices which were also telegraph offices. The limit imposed was £10, the rates being _d._ On orders not exceeding £1 4 £2 6 £4 8 £7 10 £10 12 There was an additional charge of at least 9_d._ for the official telegram, authorizing payment, which was sent in duplicate. When several orders were sent at the same time and the total amount did not exceed £50, only one official telegram was sent and paid for. The above rates were lowered in 1897 to 4_d._ for sums not in excess of £3, and 6_d._ for sums from £3 to £10 with a minimum charge of 6_d._ for the official telegram of advice.[697] At the present time inland telegraph money orders may be issued for the same amounts as ordinary inland money orders and at the same rates, plus a fee of 2_d._ and the cost of the official telegram.
