The Meeting then resolves itself into Committee, and an open 
leeting being resumed, the following sub-Committee is appointed to 
report on the various proposals before the Association, viz. Messrs. 
Duncan, Maude, Skinner, Cumming, Darby Prior and Mansergh. 
12. POST OFFICES HOURS. 
Mr. A. Dupuis Brown proposes that the Postal Authorities arrange 
for all Money Order offices to be kept open on one weekday, say 
Wednesday, until 6 p. m., and on Sundays for two hours in the morn- 
ing. At present all M. O. offices closed so early, that if a cooly 
wished to remit money, it entailed on his part loss of a day’s wages. 
Mr. F. J. Dupuis seconds the proposal. 
Mr. Harvey does not see why each estate should not undertake 
to do all this M. O. business for their coolies. He had done this for 
years with the best results. There was no loss of time, remittances 
were made correctly and expeditiously and the coolie was saved from 
employing letter writer. 
Mr. Cumming thinks that there should be no compulsion and 
that if the cooly preferred to transact his own business at the post 
office, he be given every facility for doing so. 
Mr. A. Dupuis Brown’s motion is then put to the Meeting and 
carried unanimously. 
It having been decided to hold the next Meeting on Februarv, 12 
the Meeting terminates at I p. m. 
(Sgd.) H. C. E. Zacharias, 
Secretary.
