-'.■;.'. (To the Editor.) Sir,—To my surprise,' I find in the new; Wellington East Post Office the authorities have not made any provision for private; boxes. : This will be a disappointment to a good many business firms round about this district. It is hoped that those responsible will supply this much-needed convenience.—l

The reply of the Post Office authorities to the above, letter is as follows:—"The., site of the new : Post Office ib limited in area, and to make provision for private letter boxes would result in the accommodation which it is propoEed to allow-; to the public and to the counter staff being inadequate for; the . volume of business which it is anticipated will be transacted by the public. It should be explained that there are'three','deliveries daily by postmen in the business area of Courtenay place." ,'-', ' .

A correspondent, "Egypt,. 1915," offers some suggestions in connection with Saturday's farewell to Their Excellencies, the Governor-General and Lady Alice Fergusscn. The correspondent thinks it fitting that all returned soldiers, Bailors, and nurses should muster to .fort* a guard of honour, marching to the wharf, medals and decorations to be worn, and is ot opinion that the Harbour Board would grant its assistance. The writer hopes all the "Digger" members of the Harbour, Board staff would be givou sufficient time' off to attend. He also suggests that all ships in port on that day be decorated.
