Hill to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

Having laid before the Postmaster General your letter of the
11th instant and its enclosures, I am directed to state, for the
information of the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, that the Duke of
Montrose has no objection to offer on behalf of this Department to
any of the provisions of the enclosed Act of the Legislature of British
Columbia, entitled "An Ordinance to Assimilate the Law regulating the
Postal Service."

I am, however, to observe that Clause 12 of the Ordinance appears
to the Duke of Montrose to give, in one respect, greater power to the
Postmaster of British Columbia than is given to the Postmaster General
of the United Kingdom.
