Post Office Efficiency

To the Editor of the Nontu-Cuiwa Dany News." and it is to be hoped that the abuses that have crept into both services in late years will receive first attention of those concerned Sin,—I have no doubt that many complaints made against the Post Office are unjustified and maliciot., like the man who was foolish enough to expect the Post Office to answer his telephone calls on a holiday or the man who expects the Post Office to he responsible for the vagaries of the means of transport at their disposal for the earriage of mails all over the coast and riverine ports, and anyone wie has travelled recently will know that it is very common for a stib io take seven and eight days frum Tientsin to Shanghai coming via ports so the mails are delayed the ships and not by the Post Offic.
