TWOPENNY POSTAGE
EXTRA REVENUE NEEDED
' (By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.")
DTJNEDIN, 16th February.
In conversation with a reporter, the Postmaster-General (the Hon. A. Hamilton) said ho dirt not think ..there was much chance, however. Cabinet, might desire it, of reverting to penny postage when the revenues came under review at the end of March.'
It was recognised, he said, that the change to twopence had reduced letterwriting by private individuals, and caused business firms to adopt personal delivery instead of posting, but the revenues must be maintained as far as possible.
