AIRMAIL SERVICE
ACROSS THE PACIFIC TO START IN OCTOBER. ANNOUNCEMENT BY MR WEBB. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Advice has been received from the United States Post Office of a proposal to include Suva as a stopping place on the fortnightly AucklandSan Francisco airmail service, according to a statement by the PostmasterGeneral, Mr Webb, last night. The alteration to the service, which is expected to take effect early in October, will enable airmail correspondence to be forwarded from New Zealand to Fiji, and in that connection, the Minister added, the postage rates of Is 3d each half ounce for letters and 8d each for postcards had been fixed. Philatelists will be interested to know that special arrangements are being made at the Auckland Post Office for all letters forwarded from New Zealand to Suva on the first flight to be distinctively marked, and for all letters received in New Zealand on the first flight from Suva to be date-stamped on the back.
