THE CARTERTON POST OFFICE.
(To the Bditqr v 6f the pAiif,) ?. Sir,—About two months previous I wrote to your valuable journal' concernI«K;ihe^BJnWng^tiH3arifirton:P6Bt : Office; However, no goodjresulted—everyone knew it, and seemed resigned. .■Now, I.see in your advertising columns; that, the chairman of the Local Board' la about to convene a meeting respecting the matter. Locking the stable door after the horse is stolen, is about as ridiculous as callingarneetingand'asking the authorities to refrain from shifting the office now a new one is erected_and almost ready for occupation. Besides the telegraph poles and wire are fixed, and ready at any moment, The, right, time .for action would have beon before the tenders' were called im My letter was dated March Bth, the tenders closed March 12th. ,' . i ! ; ! lam, &o. ~ Carterton.
