Ve had supposed that, after the holiday rush, congestion at the Post Office would have been to some extent , relieved but, with two weeks now passed since Christmas, there seems to be little, if any, relief. There is no intention of criticizing the Post Office staff. Doubtless, they have been carrying on a big job with all the dispatch and efficiency possible under verv trying conditions. The trquble is that the machine is too small to handle the greatly increased job tp be dpne. Two principal proposals have been put forward to provide the necessary augmentation of machinery one the opening of a new Post Office in the east industrial section, the ntW the institution of a street delivery system. We understand that the new east end Post Office should soon be open for business. The'street delivery service is said to be impossible just now. Meanwhile, the public is becoming increasingly impatient and critical. Local business and, no doubt, vital services are being glowed up by the inadequacy and slowness of the mail service. It is naturally to be assumed that the authorities concerned are doing everything possible to remedy the situation as speedily is possible. Policing of City . . . It is to be noted with gratification that no proposal has been even mentioned in resnonsible nuartprs nf mak ing any change from the present system of having policing of Prince Rupert carried out by the provincial force. It might have been thought by some that, with the return of the city to local autonomy, a move would have been made to bring about the return of a city police force. Happily, no such idea appears to be developing. Possibly, the time has come to acknowledge that the provincial police for many years now has been doing a good job in Prince Rupert even in this more recent year or so during which conditions have arisen with which complete satisfaction certainly cannot be felt even by the police themselves. The Daily News has actively criticized and deplored conditions of law and order here. Notwithstanding, we do not consider it inconsistent to say that the men of the provincial police few enough in number have been doing a real job in endeavouring to cope with these conditions. Possibly, it would not be amiss to stop and consider for a moment how much worse things might have been had we not had an honest, hard-working and conscientious local police force handling a big job under difficult conditions. Things are indeed not as good as they might be the police themselves no doubt are ready to acknowledge that but they might be worse, too. To say that should imply no expression of satisfaction on our part or make it inconsistent if tomorrow we should again start criticizing and deploring the condition of Prince Rupert again otajuijiuuiL ui luw anii orcier. In this SDirit. oratifi tnat there is no serious move to change the present svs- Increased Subscription Rates ... .

Today the newspapers of Prince Rupert reluctantly tind it necessary to announce a relatively small increase in their subscription rates. We have no doubt that our readers will receive the announcement with full understanding of our position in the matter. If you have something to, sell, a classified advertise-ment in this paper will soon let you know if there is a buver in the city.
