Ho had urged that the block of buildings at tho back of tho Post Office should bo acquired by tho Government. These buildings and the old Post Office block would house all the Government departments, and when the new Post Office waa built the Government' buildings in Duendin could be concentrated in one spot. This would 'P_ay tho Government as a business proposition. At present they were paying i coni' derable rents for offices in tho buildling referred to.
