§ Mr. NEWMANasked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the need of additional postal facilities for Edmonton; whether he is aware that the offices in both Upper and Lower Edmonton are now, owing to the recent increase in population, and especially owing to the extra work entailed by the Old Age Pensions and National Insurance Acts, inadequate in size, and 523W cause inconvenience and loss of time to residents in the districts; and what steps he proposes to take?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELMy attention has been called to an article on the subject which appeared in a local newspaper. The question of affording additional accommodation at some of the offices which serve Edmonton is under consideration, and I hope that it may be possible to effect an improvement. I am assured that in other respects the Post Office facilities afforded in the locality are satisfactory.
