PERMANENT PILLAR POST BOXES
[United Press Association.]
Auckland, May 9. Some time ago the Government ordered a number of ferro-concrete pillar boxes from the New Zealand Ferro Concrete Structural and • Engineering Go. Bos«s to the number of 14 are now completed. One of them, a double-sized box. has been sent to Wellington for erection at Newtown. Provision, is made for posting newspapers in this box as well as letters. The other boxes are at present in the Auckland yards of the Company, as instructions have not yet been received' from the Government a€ to their proposed distribution. The order had been given .as an experiment, and it had been intended to distribute the box<*& in the four chief centres of the Dominion. It is understood now, however, that the 13 boxes will all be placed in various parts of the city of Auckland and suburbs. It is claimed that the new boxes are practically everlasting.
