POSTAL DELIVERIES
Sir, —The late delivery of mails in the suburban areas is creating extreme dissatisfaction. The policy of the postal authorities in allowing the mail carriers, or rather compelling them, to become hawkers of samples, calls for strict censure. I live within a stone's throw of the Remuera Road, near the post office, yet the morning delivery frequently arrives about 11.30 a.m., and the afternoon's going on for 5 p.m. Postmen are being burdened with second-class matter, generally samples, a quite recent delivery of which was of such a size that it could not in many instances go through the aperture of many locked letter-boxes, necessitating the carrier delivering same personally to the door. Naturally, this class of matter is given preference over the letter-mail when such a procedure has to bo adopted, and it is high time the practice was discontinued. The mail delivery at present is something akin to that of a back-block Taranaki village, and certainly nothing in keeping with what it should be in a city Ike Auckland. Disgusted.
