§ Mr. JAMES O'CONNORasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that in many rural districts postmen cash postal orders for the convenience of persons who live a long way from a post-office; whether he is aware that postmen are being informed that this is contrary to the regulations and forbidden to continue the practice; and whether, in view of the convenience which will be caused to people in sparsely populated areas, he will withdraw this instruction?
§ Mr. BUXTONIt is not, and has never been, part of the duty of rural postmen to cash postal orders for the convenience of the public.
