POSTAL OFFICIALS.
Press Association,
Apckland, December 9. At a reunion of Auckland lettercarriers on Saturday night there was a large attendance, including the Mayor (Mr A. M. Myers) and a number of hands of the postal departments.
Mr Dryden, Assistant Postmaster, said that no Government or Parliament had done so much for the Post and Telegraph Departments as the present one. Statements had been made that the service was being starved, but his experience was all to the contrary, as there was never any difficulty in securing addtiions to the staff. In six years the staff of Auckland Post Office had been increased from 87 to 165, and the number of letter-carriers from 28 to 64. The whole public service recently had been treated with extreme consideration, and they ought for a number of years to be content, and settle down to work.
Referring to the progress of Auckland, Mr F. D. Holdswprth, Chief Postmaster, said that since January Ist last they had opened 68 new offices in the district, a record for any postal distraict in the Dominion.
