Mails arriving from Taupomd Tauran?a are not usually delivered udl the following morning, while anyone ishing to communicate with Auckland aft: the arrival of those mails cannot well cJso until the following mail, two days lata This is a matter requiring some conspiration at the hands of those entrusted da the management of our postal service.

Something suity can bo done to have telephone comtndic.ition between Ohinemutu and the po/office in the new township. The old tibgraph poles and wire are till standing, up could be utilised, so that any expense \su!d indeed be trifling. There is nodoijtthe telephone would bo financially a sujess, besides being a boon. It necessary a flarantoe could be given by some of our bum ess people that the Telegraph Departrint should suffer no loss, but such never be required, as it is quite evident tat the Telegraph Department would betttietited by having a telephone, for instil of having to send an officer a mile tl deliver telegrams, they could bo transmjted by telephone.
