RAILWAYS NOT TO BLAME
Only one-third of the cases of fruit which are sent to residents of Auckland from the country arrive properly addressed. _ The inward parcels office handles on an average 200 cases of fruit a day, and quite often receives complaints that the fruit has been kept at the station for some days. This morning there were numbers of cases of fruit in the office, but it was impossible to send them to their destinations because the railway officials are not thought readers. A glance at the addresses removes all blame from the department. One was addressed to Mr. , Auckland. Another was Mr. , carrier, while another read Mrs , c/o a carrier. A correct address makes all the difference between people receiving their fruit fresh or stale, and they should insist that all cases are properly addressed, to. the street and number if possible.
