One small reduction has already been offooted in
the Post Office by the abolition of the post of Inspector
of Postmen. Beyond this the Commissioners are unable to
recommend any reductions. Apart from local postal work,
the Hong Kong Post Office has to deal with a vast amount
of transit mail between south and north China, and China
and all other parts of the world. The mails must be
dealt with expeditiously. The Post Office staff is not
too large.
When a new Post Office is built in Kowloon,
central distribution of letters should be instituted, as
it has been on the Hong Kong side. This system is
economical in postmen.
