PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND PUBLIC CIVIL SERVANTS.
|To the Editor of the Daily;] Sib.—ln the province of Fantdl '.to-day wished to ..post . .some lettlfl lyond the boss local postmaster members of tlie r Civil. Service were in attendance, one practising We last valse step, the other checking the postmaster's accounts. Outside were two ladies who I found had.been.lwaitihg some ten or twenty minutes. On applying lor stamps to put on'letters to be transmitted within ten minutes,of .the mail closing, I was coolly informed I must wait till the value, of the stpps were totted up intimati I should say from -the,; course oiffl,' ceedure'goin'g on and the - pile' in of.jthe examiner, a delay of about haffl" hour.' I fully' jrecognise the advisability of to time, auditing the'public officer's\account, but think' It?might ; be'-dolier wittiout inconvdnience' fo'thfi publio.. I got my stamps and B&w-the-ladies in-the-office obtaining theirs. ijHad'l noticoae; probably they would'have had to kick their?ptetty little Nq."2 iboo'ts olitside-the pigeon hole for another half hour..
