Most Recent Speeches (Page 4 of 1259)
March 24, 1937
Hon. J. C. ELLIOTT (Postmaster General):
This is part of vote 275 which amounted to something over $16,000,000. The payment for March for these various services includes city offices, railway mail service, and district offices; and the shortage occurs almost wholly in city offices where postal clerks and letter carriers are engaged on continuous service Saturday afternoons and holidays. This is the $185,000 to which I referred, when the coming year's estimates were before the house, as being necessary to pay the extra help for the Christmas rush and to make up overtime up to March 31.

Mr. ELLIOTT (Middlesex):
No, that has to be done by us.

Mr. ELLIOTT (Middlesex):
What is being done here is a step in the direction of improving the postal service throughout the whole of Canada. We are every day receiving requests, many more than it is possible to grant, but we are endeavouring as far as can be done within a reasonable increase of expenditure to give to the cities and towns, and the rural parts as well, the best service that can be given.

Mr. ELLIOTT (Middlesex):
That occurs in practically every city, and must occur until the houses are numbered and the population becomes more thickly settled. But it is receiving attention.

Mr. ELLIOTT (Middlesex):
I do not think I can give those figures accurately. I can get it for my hon. friend if he wishes it. The total amount expended on the Christmas rush depends upon the amount of extra work to be taken care of in the different cities. In Toronto for the December delivery the amount of mail to be handled was $153,289 more for that one month than it was for the same month two years ago. Perhaps that 'will give my hon. friend an idea of how it is divided.
