REASONABLE Mr. A. Mackenzie, speaking at the Chamber of Commerce meeting yesterday, stated that several members, of the council had accepted the invitation of Mr. A. T. Markman (Secretary of the Post and Telegraph Department) to visit tho G.P.O. during rush hours to see the congestion which took place after 5 p.m. owing to business houses holdintr the posting of their correspondence back until the last minute of the business day. The vis’tors were very greatly impressed with the vast quantity of mail matter which piled in after 5 o’clock, and the fact that the Department might have to dose the mails an hour earlier, in order to deal with the congestion if a change were not made in the direction of earlier postage. In view of this state of affairs, Mr. Mackenzie said that the request of the Department for earlier postage was a moat reasonable one.
