The Waianna correspondent of the New Zealand Herald states: For some years the Bay of Plenty has had the benefit of a daily mail service, and letters posted in Auckland reach here within two days. For some reason the Postal Department sends parcels by boat to Whakatane instead of Tauranga, with the result that they are delayed an unreasonable time. This week’s parcels will have taken over a week from the time of posting to delivery.
