Thebe is an {urgent need for a still further reform in connection with Te Aroha’s mail service. It -.is a vast improvement to have the Paeroa-Thames mail leaving and arriving daily at a regular ho*ur, instead of the varied time table which existed previously. Some alteration should,-however, he made in the hour of closing the Waikato and Auckland, mails on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays?'as.on each of the above days-*there -are two mails close for Auckland; one at 7 a.m. and the other at 8 p.m.; while on- the alternate days there is no mail for town at all, three days we have 2 mails 5 each, and the remaining three days there is none.
