ROADSIDE POST OFFICES
CONSTANT CaiOWTH By providing for regular collections from and delivery of mails and parcels to rural mail boxes fixed outside the farmer’s gate, the Post Office brings many of its services direct to the country homo. That this is substantially appreciated has been shown by the constantly growing numbers of these boxes. The total distributed throughout the Dominion has now reached just over 30,000. The importance of this service was demonstrated during the economic depression when the number of rural delivery boxes actually increased by 5385 during the live years from 1929. but the present total is an improvement c.i the 1929 figures to the extent of 10,703.
