BUSY MONTH FOR POST OFFICE
REQUEST FOR PUBLIC’S
CO-OPERATION
May is always a busy month for post offices. In addition to Social Security payments there is the relicensing of motor-vehicles to be dealt with, and the strain on the staffs is usually considerable, particularly towards the end of the month. This year the Invercargill Chief Post Office is affected by war staffing problems and the chief postmaster (Mr J. Lindsay) made a special appeal to the public yesterday to assist the staff by making their payments as soon as possible, so that the end-of-the-month rush would be lessened. A total of 1036 motor-vehicles have been relicensed. Of these 162 were put through yesterday. It is hoped that the daily number will increase substantially from now on. The Social Security charge and the National Security tax, each of 1/- in the £l, must be paid this month as well as the 5/- Social Security registration fees. Many thousands of these payments are still to be paid, and in view of the congested public space and the post office staffing difficulties, the public will find it much more convenient to pay these dues early than wait until the last few days of the month.
