THE EDUCATION WHARF. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING POST.

Sin, — I have on a former occasion received your kfod assistance re the inconvenience experienced by the merchants, clerks, and Custom House Agents in this city with regard to the Landing Waiter's office on the Queen's Wharf, which, I regret to say, still remains (and I nny say) to tho disgrace of the Wharf Committee. Thera is yet another grievance, and a serious one. For some time past the lockers have beon continually changed by tho Customs authorities until a mere boy has been palmed upon the merchants, entirely unacquainted with the duties of locker, and in consequence they have put the merchants and their warehousemen to much delay and vary serious inconvonien-o. . If you wonld kindly take notice of the above in your columns you would be conferring a • lasting favor upon the merchants and their employees. ' •■' lam,&c., *" -j Shipping Clbbx^. Oth May, 1879. [The Customs Office was temporarily shorthanded owing" to tbe sudden Miners of one officer, consequently for a few days the duties of locker had to be performed by a cadet, who, although an efficient officer in his regular place, had no experience in tbe duties he was unavoidably called ou to undertake pro tern. Thia is now remedied.— Ed. E.P.]
