to tub r.orruK oc the press. Sir.—The writer of the letter signed "Watford Street" wanted to know if within a radius of 100 miles there was anyone who had their mail after noon. We live within 40 miles of Christchurch, and think ourselves very fortunate if we receive our mail by 4 o'clock. The storekeeper has the mail delivery, and this should not be allowed. Our paper is like an evening paper instead of a morning one, so I think "Watford Street" is very fortunate to receive his by noon. Just imagine, on the West Coast they receive their mail many hours before we do. and it is time the local delivery was improved.—Yours, etc.,
ANNAT. Annat, December 17, 1936. !An official at the Christchurch Post Office, to whom this letter was referred, said that the rural mail delivery at Annat was performed by the storekeeper-postmaster. It was performed in conjunction with a business, and was done "as expeditiously as possible."J
