Section 9
SEC. 9. (a) For the purpose of facilitating deposits of small savings and of extending the privileges of the postal savings banks to the smaller communities, there shall be issued, by the Bureau of Posts, postal savings bank stamps in denominations of five, ten, and twenty centavos, respectively, which stamps shall be for sale at every postal savings bank in the Philippine islands, and all moneys received in payment for said stamps shall lie considered as postal savings bank deposits, a record of which shall be kept separate from-the other accounts of the post-office. (b) Every postal savings bank shall furnish without charge to any person purchasing postal savings bank stamps the appropriate cards arranged with ten or twenty blank spaces, each bearing a distinctive, number, for the pasting on of the above-mentioned stamps. The cards shall be of three different colors, arranged for the three different denominations of stamps, respectively, and only stamps of the denominations designated shall be placed on the respective kind of cards. The postmaster upon giving out a card shall stamp it with the stamp of his office and shall require the person receiving it to sign it with his name, or mark, and transfers of cards shall be made only by indorsement to order. (c) Stamp cards, upon being properly filled with stamps, may be presented at any postal savings bank in the Philippine Islands and deposited as if they were money of the amount represented by the face value of the stamps, and the procedure for making such deposits shall be the same as that provided for deposits of money in section eight of this Act. The chief of the postal savings bank division shall cancel all stamps received for deposit at the time the deposit entry is made to the depositor's credit. (d) Employees of the Postal Savings Bank, and all persons intrusted with the handling or custody of postal savings bank stamps, whether said stamps shall have been canceled or not, shall be held responsible for them in the same manner and to the same extent as if they were Insular money of a value equal to the face value of the stamps. (e) Uncanceled postal savings bank stamps shall be redeemable at par in postage stamps at the office of the chief of the postal savings bank division.
