§ MR. SEXTON (for Mr. DWYER GRAY)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether, when a telegram is sent from a local post office to an address in the same town, the postal authorities insist on the name of the town being inserted in the telegram, and for what purpose such a regulation is enforced?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. H. H. FOWLER)There is no regulation such as that described; but it has been ascertained that in Belfast and Cork, under a misapprehension, senders of local messages in those towns have been required to insert the name of the town; but instructions have been given to discontinue the practice.
