POSTAL DELIVERY
(To thß Editor.) Sir,—An ' official of the Postal Department called on me to-day and intimated that I must nlace a letter-box at my front gate, or my mail would not be delivered. Later he graciously agreed that in the absence of a box I could take personal delivery of, my mail at the gate, but it could not be delivered at the house. His explanation was that this'was the law "in all new areas." ,
Now, Sir, many of us object to our mail being delivered into a box at the gate. In my own case, I am a builder, and during the year receive a_ very large ■amount of money and much important, correspondence, including plans and specifications, through the post, and. not even to oblige an impecunious Government De-. partment am I prepared''to have these "delivered at the gate." What^l wish to know is: Have the Postal officials power to differentiate between the residents' of, say, Trafalgar street,. 'Lower: Hutt, and Woburn road, or do the postal'rates apply to only certain favoured localities? Is this another ease of government by regulation, or merely a, case of the tail wagging thedo g ? T Ja m , etc.,,..;; BUILDER _ Lower Hutt, 13th May.
