POSTAL INCREASES.
WHAT OF GOVERNMENT STAMPS?
(To the Editor) ' The Government anticipates an additional revenue of £900,000 through its increased postal charges. Will not a fair proportion of this amount be merely a fictitious increase? AH Government correspondence finds its delivery through the medium of "ofiiciaF' stamps. One presumes that these stamps are a charge against each Department to whom they ara issued, and that the receipts from their sale - though merely hook transactions, help to ? swell the ligures for the sale of stamps. .Nq\y all Government Departments will find their bills for postages almost doubled. Their costs ' will increase proportionately as the P. and T revenue does. Why, then, should air the additional cost of printing and.licking these "officials" be undertaken if 210 material benefit actually accrues to the public purse? The matter may be a minor one, but even every minor olie counts in these times of economy* OFFICIAL.'-
