To discuss whose interests the contract might affect, it is essential to understand the context in which it operates. The area in question lies between this Colony and other significant locations.
The claim that there are 72 individuals or entities involved is noteworthy. However, the details surrounding this claim are not entirely clear due to some missing information.
The help of the Imperial Post Office is crucial in facilitating communication. The current system for receiving and dispatching registered correspondence is not as efficient as it could be, with the nearest point being Shanghai, which is 700 miles from Tientsin, the Port of Peking.
Since the Post Office at Tientsin exists almost entirely for the sake of correspondence exchange with Europe, it is argued that Hong Kong ought to be more proactive. Messrs Rea and Mitchell reorganized the Postal agencies of China in 1867, but not much has been done to extend the service since then.
Minor improvements have been introduced at the Ports, but no new agencies have been opened, except Niogo in Japan. The reason for not opening new agencies is largely financial, as the incidental expenses could not be defrayed by the amount of local postage collected.
I consider establishing an agency at Newchow or elsewhere. Now, if the service is to stand still, it hardly seems viable as it cannot stand still without retrograding. I submit that the time has arrived to contemplate its extension within the region.
