THE NEW POST OFFICE (?)

With finances already earmarked, and plans already authorised, it is rather surprising that Whakatane has not heard something further of the new Post Office which has been under consideration, we understand, for the past four or five years. Recently a controversy on the situation of the iiew building figured in the pressi and actually reached; official ears. The question of a site is however a secondary one until the Government is ready to intimate its readiness to undertake the work and make use of the grant which has figured so consistently on the estimates;. Whakatane deserves full recognition in this respect for all Government officials who have inspected the present building have expressed their disgust at the facilities and the conditions. Recently the Postmaster General opened a modern new > post office at Taupo, thus giving a direct denial to the supposition that all undertakings of' this nature would be shelved until after the war. This is. a. policy which will be endorsed by all right thinking people, and. the citizens of Whakatane have the right to expect that if the men and the materials are available, a start should be mad,e on the new structure without delay.
