§ 60. Mr. JOHN WARDasked the Postmaster-General whether the poles and apparatus for the extension of the telegraph to the Post Office, Thruxton, have been lying at Weyhill for some months; how much longer he anticipates this improvement of communication is likely to be delayed; and what are the reasons against immediately proceeding with the work?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELBefore an extension of the telegraph system can be carried out, way-leaves have to be obtained and notice given to the public as required by law. These conditions as regards the proposed extension to the Thruxton Post Office have now been fulfilled, and it is hoped that the office will be open for the transaction of telegraph business by the end of this month.
