 62 STAT.] MULTILATERAL-UNIVERSAL POSTAL UNION-JULY 5, 1947 18. As far as possible, the exchange offices insert in their own dis- patches for a given office, all dispatches of small dimensions (packets or sacks) which reach them for that office. 19. Unless the Administration of destination advises to the con- trary, all packages of prints for the same addressee and for the same address may be placed in one or more special sacks. In this case, besides the regular indications, the label should indicate the addressee of the articles. When registered articles are involved, they should be entered on a special list C 13 and separated from the other articles included in the dispatch. ARTICLE 149. Delivery of dispatches. 1. The delivery of dispatches between two corresponding offices is effected in accordance with the conditions prescribed by the Adminis- trations concerned. 2. Only the sacks and packets designated by red labels need, at the time of delivery, be subjected to complete verification of their closing and condition. As for the other sacks and packets, their verification is optional and they are always delivered in bulk. 3. Dispatches shall be delivered in good condition. However, a dispatch may not be refused because of damage. When a dispatch is received in bad condition by an intermediate office, it shall be placed, just as it is, under new packing. The office which effects the repack- ing shall enter the indications of the original label on the new label and place on the latter an imprint of its date stamp, preceded by the note Remball . . . . ... . . (repackedat......... ). ARTICLE 150. Verification of dispatches. 1. When an intermediate office must proceed to repack a dispatch, it verifies the contents thereof if it presumes that they have not remained intact. It makes up a bulletin of verification conforming to Form C 14 hereto appended, complying with the provisions of Sections 4 to 6 hereafter. The bulletin is sent to the exchange office from which the dispatch was received; a copy thereof is addressed to the office of origin and another is inserted in the repacked dispatch. 2. The office of destination verifies whether the dispatch is intact, and whether the entries on the letter bill, and on the special lists of registered articles, if any, are correct. In case of shortage of a dis- patch, or of one or more sacks forming part thereof, of registered articles, of a letter bill, of a special list of registered articles, or when it is a question of any other irregularity, the fact is established at once by two employees. The latter make the necessary corrections on the bills or lists, taking care to strike out the erroneous items in such a manner as to allow the original entries to be recognized. Except in case of obvious error, the corrections prevail over the original statement. 3377 Ante, p. 3265. Damaged dis- patches. Intermediate office. Ante, p. 3266. Office of destination.
