LOCAL POST OFFICES.
[To the Editor of the Daily Telegraph.] Sic, —Are we still so few in numbers, still such a secondary place, that we are only deserving of a post office with but half its conveniences ? As to population there are many settlements which have a much less number of residents than there are ia and about Hastings, yet are favored with a local post office in full work. As things stand all letters for residents in this settlement, from the im* mediate neighborhood, as Havelock, or from other townships, Waipawa or Waipukurau, must go into Napier, and be reposted thence. Is it not time so primitive a state of postal matters were remedied P To business men as well as private individuals, it is most inconvenient that letters posted at Hastings for Havelock, or Clive, or the reverse, should be sent on to Napier before those to whom they are addressed can get them, causing much loss of time and often throwing araDgements out. Surely this should not be, and would not, if letters addressed to either of these places were delivered at the time, and not sent on miles further, to be brought back again over the same ground.—l am, &c, An Aggrieved. Hastings, 14th June, 1881.
