-Press. Association
perishable items deteriorate warning to senders
Bv Telegraph-
WELLINGTON, June 13. The post office states that many parcels which have recently been . sent through X he post containing rabbit skins, deer tails and qwls lieads have arrived at their destination in an offensive condition. Not only are parcels in such a condition most objectionable to handle, but there is always the possibility that they may cause damage to other parcels in the same mail. In future, therefore, parcels containing the items mentioned, which are found at any stage of their journey • in the post to be in an offensive condition, will be destroyed. - The Post Office Regulations provide that perishable articles, flsh, game, rabbit skins and the like, must be packed in straw or some similar substance, and the whole enclosed in calico or thin sacking, the contents of the parcel being indicated on the cover. Rabbit skins must be thoroughly dried before being packed.
