THE TELEGRAPH OFFICE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE WEST COAST TIMES.
Sik — It may be a matter of little or no moment to the general public whether telegraph stations are easy of access or otherwise, but to the mercantile community, who are constantly using the wires as a means of communication, it is most important that central sites be everywhere chosen.
The Hokitika sfation, situate in the Govern-ment-reserve, is altogether too remote from the business portion of the town to be of that public utility which it ought, and it is with a view to initiate a movement for its removal to a more useful site, that I take the liberty of calling attention to the subject. It is an infliction at any time for business people resident north, say, of the Union Bank, to have to trudge down to the present office to send their messages, and in weather such as we have lately had, next to an impossibility. There is plenty of vacant ground in the Police-camp facing Revell street, and what better place could their be for the Telegraph establishment than alongside the Fire Brigade Hall ; for one who might be inconvenienced by such a change twenty would bo benefited, and I thiak that worth consideration. Yours, &c,
Faibplay.
