§ MR. SAMUEL YOUNG (Cavan, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, 1518 as representing the Postmaster General, whether it is in contemplation to change the post office at Virginia, county Cavan, from the status of head office to that of sub-office, and whether he is aware, if such a change be made, that there is reason to suppose that it will retard the despatch and delivery of letters and telegrams, and otherwise interfere with the efficient working of the postal business of the locality; and will he protect the inhabitants of Virginia from such an inconvenience.
§ MR. HANBURYIt has been decided by the Postmaster General to reduce Virginia from the status of a head post office to that of a railway sub-office; but so far from the alteration being detrimental to the efficient working of the postal and telegraph business of the locality, it will admit of an improved and accelerated service, while the existing facilities will in no degree be curtailed.
