Suva To Have Air Mail Service
ISpecial to “Northern Advocate”] WELLINGTON, This Day. Suva is to be included as a stoppingplace on the fortnightly Auekland-San Francisco air mail services of PanAmerican Airways. A proposal to include this new call has been communicated by the United States Post Office to the PostmasterGeneral (Mr. Webb). The Minister said last night that the alteration to the service, which was expected early next month, would enable air mail to be sent from New Zealand t.o Fiji. Postage rates for the service were announced by the Minister. They will be 1/3 a half-ounce for letters, and 8d each for post-cards. Mr. Webb added that special arrangements were being made at the Auckland Post Office for all letters sent from New Zealand to Suva on the first flight to be distinctively marked, and for all letters received in the Dominion from Suva by the first flight to date-stamped on the back.
