RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
HIGHER FEE NOT IMPOSED. Considerable opposition to a proposal to increase the fee for a rural mail delivery to £2 per annum was voiced recently in various parts of the country. A circular which has been issued by the Postmaster-General indicates that the proposed increase has not been persisted in. It sets out that persons desiring the benefits of service on a rural mail delivery route are required to furnish at their own cost approved boxes for the reception of mail to be delivered or collected by the carrier, and to pay to the Post Cffice the annual fee of £1 for a delivery in excess of thrice weekly or 10s for a delivery having" a frequency of thrice weekly or less.
