POSTAL PACKET DELIVERY.
The Council of the Auckland Chamher of Commerce recently drew the attention of the Postmaster-Genera! to the fact that tho regulations affecting the delivery of packages to holders of postal boxes urgently needled amendment. It was pointed' out that while lessees of postal boxes paid up bo three guineas a yc.tr. they- were a* the dioadvantatge of not having delivered any parcels sent by post which were t<po large to go in the box until 36 hours la-tyr. The letter aalds "the regiiiaiion is so unreasonable and illogical that tlie Council is satisfied it is only necessary to hring it. under your notice rto ensure its amendment." The letter further aeTveti that attention he given to this matter "so that leasees nf privaw boxes may ceas-e to be penalised."
The ■PostmasfceT-frfHi'Tal has forwarded -the following reply: "It hae been d'reided' that the written request of any private }>ox holders "for the delivery of hifi parcels at h-i? place of business is to hp complied with. It is mot proposed to make a gOTpral delivery, as the box holders generally havp not asked for it; :ind' it is kirown tha'fc -the ma^fority prefer to epnd to the pest offic* instead of iraitrng for the delivery by the-con-tra-ctor for thp n-ork."
