§ 30. Colonel ENGLANDasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the fact that in connection with an overpaid telegram on which there is a small refund the recipient of a postal draft from the Post Office is obliged to go to the place of transmission of the original telegram to cash it, he is aware that this procedure may entail the expenditure of from six to ten times the value of the refund; and whether, under these circumstances, he will consider some other way of avoiding this inconvenience to the public?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONYes, Sir. I will give instructions that any postal draft for a small amount issued in refundment of a telegraph charge shall in future be payable at any post office, unless there is some special reason for making it payable at a particular office only.
