" We give such a fast day eervicu that there is no occasion for any de ferred service, besides which, we ere not a deferred company. We, push our traffic through to destination within a few minutes from the tin e it H handed to us. We do not believe the public has any use for a deferred day service, l'e- cause the present day service and night ettergram service seem to be amply sufficient and we do not think there is any demand for an intermediate serv ice, which would be no different from the night lettergram service in its prac tical workings. A deferred day service would get mixid with our regular da service and would hamper and delay it. Fast service is what the public wants, not a deferred or slow service.
