tail a total increased expenditure per annum of $12,624 rising to $14,544.

5. I have already stated that any proposals tending to the improvement of an institution like the General Post Office upon which so closely depends the welfare and convenience of the community, should receive very careful consideration; and as there is no doubt that the work of the Post office has been seriously hampered in the past by the inadequacy of the staff, and as the trading community, represented by the Chamber of Commerce, are agreed as to the imperative necessity of re-organisation, I recommend that the proposals of the Postmaster General be approved.

Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble Servant,
Henry May
GOVERNOR, &C.
