AIR MAIL

GROWING IN POPULARITY } That the air mail service is growing in popularity was the opinion expressed! by the Chief Postmaster at Dunedinl (Mr N, R. MTsaac) when approached) by a ‘ Star ’ reporter to-day to elucw date some points that have been raised by inquirers in regard to the service,) Mr MTsaac said that apart altogether from the business community,, it was being found that there was aui increase in the_ amount of ordinary correspondence being sent by air mail, and there was every reason _ for the beliefi that it would prove still more popular in the very near future, as people came to realise its efficacy. ■ Some doubts seem to have existed concerning the procedure to be adopted in sending letters by air mail, and these were removed by Mr MTsaac* who said that where a person did no* possess an air mail stamp all that was necessary was that the ordinary stamps should be affixed, and the envelope endorsed “Per Air Mail.” Inquiries have also beta made as to whether letters posted at suburban offices will be conveyed by air mail, and the chief postmaster stated that letters posted before 9 o’clock in the morning at the North-east Valley, Dunedin North, Dunedin South, Roslyn, Mornington, St. Clair, Moray Place,, and Manor Place offices will be conveyed air mail the same day.
