NEW POST OFFICE FACILITIES FOR PUBLIC
OPENED TODAY
In the handling of airmail the Hongkong Postal Service is at least equal to London's; in speed and accuracy in dealing with large quantities | of mails it is second to none in the world.
When he opened a new counter and public hall in the Hongkong Post Office this morning, His Excellency the Governor, Sir Alexander Grantham, paid tribute to the staff who kept the service running 60 smoothly, and the ingenuity of those who had decided to improve the old Post Office when Government funds had made it impossible to build a new
one.
The aim of postal administration all over the world was to afford the best possible service to the public, the Governor said. From his own experience with airmail he was fully aware that the Hongkong Past Office was at least equal to London's, and generally he was satisfied that in speed and accuracy it was second to none.
In addition to its handling of the mall It was the alm of postal administrations to provide good publie counter facilities, he

After opening the hall, the Governor was conducted by Mr Saville and Me Durrant on tour of the Bortung Hall and the Registration Branch of the Post Office, and was then entertained to tea in the Postmaster-
