Approved by Special Warrant during the year.
The new posts shown above have been provided to cope with the rapid growth of business, to man a second mobile post office, to provide for an extension of mechanized deliveries and for the introduction of an experimental parcel delivery service.
The increase in rents under Other Charges Annually Recurrent is due to the opening of new offices during 1960/61, whilst other increases are necessitated by the constant increase in public business.
Additional funds are required under Special Expenditure for the replacement of 4 existing motor vehicles; 6 new vehicles are required for mechanization of postal deliveries, 2 for the experimental parcel delivery service and 1 for a further mobile post office. The provision in the subhead "Radio equipment" is required for the maintenance and testing of radio equipment used by several departments.
