G. Ward) asking when the new stamps might be expected, and also for certain particulars regarding the method of printing that would be adopted, etc. The following reply was received from the Secretary of the Post and Telegraph Department :— " . . . it is hoped the new issue of stamps will be ready within six months. . . . It is not intended that there shall be a London printing, as was the case with the pictorial issue. The stamps will be print-eel from steel plates, as at present, excepting the halfpenny and penny values. It has not been decided definitely whether J,he series will be complete'' r
