POSTAL DISTRIBUTION

To the Editor of the "Noatu-Curxa Day New Sim,—I hope you will allow me small space in your valuable paper to vent what I venture to think most people will agree with me in calling very real grievance. I refer to to the are delivered by the British Post Office.

On Saturday the mail arrived before 9.45 a.m., and yet delivery to non-box-' holders had not taken place by 4 p.m., over six hours, although, speaking for myself, my abode is not quarter of a from the Post Office.

This is not an unusual but " usual) occurrence. It appears that non-box-holders, like myself, have no redress, as continual complaints are treated with contempt. At home such delay would not be tolerated for a moment, and I, therefore, venture to suggest that, as the Postmaster appears incapable of finding' remedy, an appeal in the form of letter of complaint should be made by all those interested, to the Postmaster-General in Hongkong.

Enclosing my card, I am, ete., A Sorvenen.
