DUNEDIN’S NEW POST OFFICE
SLOW PROGRESS BEING MADE. DUNEDIN, May 16. The slow progress being made with the erection of Dunedin’s new Post Office is the subject of representations from time to time to the Government. Work was started upon the foundations several years ago, and has proceeded in a leisurely maimer, to which the citizens have more or less grown accustomed.
The latest representations on the subject were made to the Minister for Punlie Works, the Hon. W. B. Taverner, who replies as follows:
“I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of May 9th. urging an early commencement of the work of constructing the proposed new Post Office building at Dunedin. In reply I. desire to assure you that the Government fully appreciates the need that exists for a proper Post Office building in Dunedin, and the matter is receiving special consideration in connexion with, the preparation of estimates of expenditure for the current financial year. 1 am personally hopeful that the financial resources available will permit of a sufficient appropriation to enable the work to proceed at an early date, and as soon as Cabinet has finally considered the matter I shall be glad to advise you of the result.”
