RURAL MAILS.
VIEWS OF COUNTY COUNCIL. The system of the rural delivery* which it is proposed to institute early next year is meeting with opposition in parts of Taranaki. The Woodville County Council’s resolution of protest was discussed by the Hawera County Council on Saturday. The chairman said that the fee of £2 was a hardship considering the town deliveries. Cr. Dunlop said that it was not so much of a hardship. They had had to pay £1 last year to subsidise the mail carrier. The chairman said that they would have to pay £2 in addition to the £1 for the mailman. He got two deliveries a day, and it cost him nothing, and he would not like to see the country people imposed on. A councillor pointed out that the country man was -better off where there was no rural delivery and the mails were left at the factory. It was decided to support the resolution and oppose the charge of £2. At the monthly meeting of the Clifton County Council on Friday it was decided, after a brief discussion, that the letter should be received, one councillor remarking that the system, it was acceptable to some, was not tq the advantage of others.
