HOW NOT TO DO IT.
TO THE EDITOR OF "iHB PRESS." • Sir, —Can you state -when we are to have a more efficient mail-carrying service throughout South Canterbury? In what is supposed to be such a progressive and up-to-date country, I find it takes two days for a letter to rea-:h parts of South Canterbury, though the mail gets down to Timaru in a few hours. Just fancy this mail having to wait in Timaru all dav, before it :s sent a few miles. On enquiry I find that the mail earners are allowed to v>eave Timaru before the first mail from here—carrying correspondence from the North Island also—reaches there. Down from Wellington I have been seriouslv delayed here waiting for important information from South Canterbury. How business people iu Christchurch put up with such unbusinesslike methods I do not know. "\Vlmt is your Chamber of Commerce doing? In Auckland wo would not sit down [ and do nothing. Thanking you to insert this in the interest of the community.—Youra etc., * ' VISITOR. Christ church. February Ist.
