110. Independently of your money-order
offices, which are so numerous, do your post
offices and pillar boxes also affbrd in anotber
way means for transmitting messages more ra
pidly tban at present?— Yes; ivehave, over and
above the 3,700 money-order offices, about 13,000
receptacles for letters, half of ivhich are receiving
offices and half are pillar boxes. Taking the
whole number of receptacles for letters, there is one
to every 300 inhabited houses. Those receptacles
for letters are cleared of the letters deposited in
them at fixed and’ knoivn hours ’of the day, and
the Post Office could give to the public the facili
ties of depositing in them telegraphic messages,
written on stamped paper, with the certainty that
the messages deposited therein would, at a fixed
hour, be taken out of the receptacles and carried
without delay to the nearest telegraph offi.ce for
immediate transmission by wire to its destination.
111. In comparison with the population,
what advantages do those means offer? — We
should give every 1,450 inhabited houses a telegra
phic office in their centre, and we should give to
every 300 houses a place of deposit from which
the telegraphic message would be carried free of
charge to them, at a fixed hour, to the place from
ivhich it would be taken by the wire.
112. Then all your Communications from
the money-order offices would be strictly tele
graphic, and from the post offices and pillar
boxes partly postal and partly telegraphic? —
Undoubtedly.
113. The object being to give it convey
ance by post to the nearest telegraph • station,
instead of putting the sender of the telegram to
the expense or trouble of sending it himself?
Yes.
114. Do you propose to doTthat without a
postal charge? — Without any charge beyond the
maximum charge of 1 s.
116. You have spoken of your money-order
offices as offering you great facilities as regards
the transmission of money; I suppose ordinarily
now that is done by course of post, advices as
to money orders? — The Electric and Interna-
110. Bortseet fra Deres Pengeanvisnings
kontorer, der ere saa talrige, frembyder da ikke
ogsaa Deres Postkontorer og Brevkasser paa an
den Maade Midler til at afsende Telegrammer
hurtigere end for nærværende? — Jo ; vi have,
foruden de 3,700 Anvisningskontorer, omtrent
13,000 Receptakler for Breve, hvoraf Halvparten
er Modtagelseskontorer og Halvdelen Brevpillarer.
Sammenfatter man det hele Antal af Receptakler
for Breve, er der et for hvert 300 beboede Huse.
Disse Brevreceptakler tømmes paa bestemte og be
kjendte Tider af Dagen, og Postvæscnet kunde give
Publikum den Bekvemmelighed at kunne nedlægge
i dem Telegrafdepecher, skrevne paa stemplet Pa
pir, med Sikkerhed for, at de saaledes indleverede
Telegrammer vilde til en bestemt Time blive tagne
ud af Recepiaklerne og uden Ophold blive bragte
til den nærmeste Telegrafstation, for øieblikkeligt
pr. Telegraf at afsendes til sit Bestemmelsessted.
111. Hvilke Fordele vilde disse Midler
frembyde i Forhold til Folkemængden? — Vi
skulde give hvert Antal af 1,450 beboede Huse et
Telegrafkontor i deres Midte og vi skulde give
hvert Antal af 300 Huse et Sted til Nedlæggelse,
hvorfra Telegrammerne uden Udgift vilde blive
bragle paa bestemt Time til det Sted, hvor de vilde
blive telegraferede.
112. Alle Deres Kommunikationer fra Anvis
ningskontorerne vilde altsaa blive udelukkende
telegrafiske og fra Postkontorerne og Brevkas
serne dels Post- og dels Telegrafkommunikation?
— Utvivlsomt.
113. Idet Hensigten er at befordre Tele
grammet med Posten til den nærmeste Telegraf
station , istedetfor at lade Afsenderen have den
Omkostning eller Uleilighed seiv at besørge det
afsendt? — Ja.
114. Agter De at gjøre dette uden at be
regne nogen Postporto derfor? — Uden nogen
Udgift udenfor Maximumsportoen 1 sh.
116. De har talt om, at Deres Penge
anvisningskontorer yder Dem store Lettelser med
Eensyn til Oversendelsen af Penge; jeg for
moder, at Advis af Postanvisninger nu ial
mindelighed foregaar ved Hjælp af Postgangen?
