An Enquiry Answered To the Editor of the "Nownu-Cutna Dany News Suj—I had a little dispute with the management of the Rue Massenet Post Ofice when T presented a local registered letter" with ten _one-cent Stamps. I was exceedingly surprised to see them refuse to accept my letter at first, but finally submitting, telling me that under no circumstances they will accept such a loiter next time.
Could "any of your readers, acquainted with Post Office Regulations, enlighten my mind whether they were ight to act in the way they did, when they themselves furnish the public with one-cent change and refuse to accept the same in payment, or whether there are any rules gov-cerning such claim.
Shanghai, July 24, Post Office Held Wrong To the Editor of the "Nowrn-Cuta Daty News Sm—I would be much obliged [you would allow me to express my opinion and give some remarks on Contesroxpenr's letter "of July 24.
In my opinion, the management of the Post OMice' had absolutely' mo Fight to refuse to accept the letter vwehen fol amount had toon "pel stamps. We all know that at the present moment we—experience acute shortage of copper coins and that stamps in their stead are clt~ culated. Having a surplus of one-Jeent stamps, as evidently Connesroxpexr had, T think It is reasonable to use such in payment for one's! fetter. If we will take into cone sideration "the "fact"—that we are wasting public funds, when we are! Jusing an excessive mimper of stamps and" not reducing them to, minimum, or the energy' of the unfortunate™ employee, who has to stamp five times instead of one, then say" that Conm oxurx also "exerted" himself when he affixed ton stamps instend of one? [Would he have wasted his cneray Jand time if he had a ten-cent stamp Tdoubt it very such a time as we are. Jexperiencing T think it is unreason~ fable for the Post Office to urge us to keep those rules that have been made useless by circumstances.
