§ MR. JORDAN (Clare, W.)asked the Postmaster General, If, in view of the growing- requirements of the district, he has yet decided to supply a better telegraphic instrument to the office in. Mil-town Malbay, County Clare, than the old A.B.C. now in use there?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)In reply to the hon. Member, I have to state that the question has recently been before me; but, as I find upon inquiry that the number of messages dealt with upon the circuit (including those not only of Mil-town Malbay, but also of Lahinch) averaged but seven daily in January, 13 in June, and 24 in August, one of the most busy months in the year, I do not think that the time has yet arrived for making any change in the instruments in use.
