No
money-order
business
is
transacted
at
any
post-office
on
Sundays.
On
every
lawful
day,
the
time
for
issuing
and
paying
money-orders
is
from
ten
till
four
at
the
chief
offices
in
London,
Edinburgh,
and
Dublin,
and
from
nine
till
six
at
provincial
offices.
On
Saturday
nights
it
is
usual
to
allow
two
extra
hours
for
this
business.
POST-OFFICE
SAVINGS
BANKS.
We
have
already
explained
at
some
length
the
origin
and
ordinary
working
of
these
banks;
the
following
résumé
of
the
distinctive
features
of
the
new
plan
may
therefore
suffice:--
(a)
Nearly
all
the
money-order
offices
in
the
United
Kingdom
are
now
open
each
working-day
for
the
receipt
and
payment
of
savings-bank
accounts.
(b)
Deposits
of
one
shilling,
or
any
number
of
shillings,
will
be
received,
provided
the
total
amount
of
deposits
in
any
one
year
does
not
exceed
30l.,
or
the
total
amount
standing
in
one
name
does
not
exceed,
exclusive
of
interest,
150l.
(c)
Each
depositor,
on
making
the
first
payment,
must
give
every
necessary
particular
regarding
himself,
and
sign
a
declaration.
He
will
then
receive
a
book
(gratis)
in
which
all
entries
of
payments
and
withdrawals
will
be
regularly
made
by
an
officer
of
the
Post-Office.
(d)
Interest
at
the
rate
of
2l.
10s.
per
cent.
is
given
on
all
money
deposited.
(e)
Secrecy
is
observed
with
respect
to
the
names
of
depositors
in
post-office
banks,
and
the
amounts
of
their
deposits.
(f)
Depositors
have
direct
Government
security
for
the
prompt
repayment,
with
interest,
of
all
their
money.
