BETTER ACCOMMODATION WANTED. We have received -a lengthy replv from oor Post Master (which ia by concent not pablished) to onr article of last week under the above heading m which the writer takes due credit for officiency in^tbe managemenet of Mark- dale postoffioe daring the twenty-four years in which he has held the position of P M., and takes umbrage at us for try- ing to impress the public mind that there has been mismanagement on the premises. He has evidently miscons- trued the term accommodation in the article referred to to that of manage- ment which we consider quite different in meaning. We have never question- ed the efficient management of Mark- dale Post Office, while on the other handiwe have repaetedly commended it. and eulogised his â€" the Post- Master's â€" assistants for their care and effici- ency, as may be seen by back numb- ers of the Standard, and is doubtless remembered by many of its readers- We have et no reason to change our mind on this score. While we belieye that better accommodation and gen- eral satisfaction would result from the office being separate and distinct from the mercantile or any other busmess, other things bemg equal, yet when we look into the matter more closely we are rather inclined to the con- clusion that it is very possible, if not quite probable, that the accommoda- tion would not be improved under other circumstances or under different management.
