Post Office Rates Debate and Local Opinion in Ontario
A Barrie column from June 19, 1802 critiques postal rate revisions and advertising mail subsidies, arguing the Post Office Department is misusing funds to carry low-rate goods from department stores. It defends the department’s shift toward a paying basis and rebuts Liberal opposition claims. The Toronto Star quotes rural deputy returning officers as conscientious, not conspiratorial, noting their local standing and responsibility.
