§ MR. FRASER-MACKINTOSH (Invernessshire)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he has received complaints regarding the want of telegraphic communication betwixt Lochaline and Drimnin; and could he see his way to accept a much smaller guarantee than that last asked for an extension to Drimnin?
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONAn application for a telegraph office at Drimnin was made by the hon. Member for Argyllshire. The extension would cost about £270. The annual expenses would be about £50, and the revenue, it is believed, would not be more than about £5. It is, therefore, impossible to accept a smaller guarantee than £50.
