Should a deposit-book be lost, the loser must notify the fact to
the Post Office Savings Bank at Vienna, on a printed form, supplied
gratuitously at every Receiving Office, stating the peculiar marks of
the lost book as exactly as he can possibly remember them, also the
particular circumstances under which the loss took place, as well as
his full address, enclosing at the same time 10 kreutzers in postage
stamps and the notice of withdrawal book, requesting that a duplicate
of the deposit-book lost may be given him. Should the notice-book be
also mislaid, this is to be notified on the printed form and the sum of
five kreutzers added for a new notice-book.
The Post Office Savings Bank notes down the loss and until further
notice makes no payment on the lost deposit-book.
Meanwhile arrangements will be made for its annulment and if during the
space of a month no claim is raised, a duplicate book will be issued
and forwarded.
If no room can be found in a deposit-book for further entries, or it
has become torn or so dirty as to become useless, the depositor has
to send it with the printed form, N^o 11, properly filled up to Post
Office Savings Bank at Vienna for exchange. Books filled up will be
exchanged gratuitously, for a spoilt book, however, the sum of 10
kreutzers is to be added to the request. In case the notice book is
also spoilt, the sum of 5 kreutzers is to be added for issuing a new
one.
