Ilia appointments of tho new offices are excellent in the main, hut adverse opinions have been expressed concerning tho facilities of the private letter boxes. Ih« spaces on tho back of these are said to he too small to allow the stall fully to index the addresses which apply to each bov It mav be that tho Department intends to give effect,to a suggestion that was made some time ago only to placo inside each box letters which are hilly addressed with tho number. At present (his rule is not insisted upon. The pro. vision of a writing room for the use of private boi holders will ho' appreciated.
