48. All business expenditure for sites and buildings to be carried to a capital account, and spread over several years, instead of being paid out of current revenue.
49. The surplus of the Post Office over and above three millions sterling to be devoted to cheapening, extending, and facilitating the postal and telegraphic services of Great Britain and Ireland.
50. A Government printing office to be established.
51. The insurance department of the Post Office to be placed under the control of an experienced manager.
52. The architecture of post offices to be improved.
53. Lodgers' letters to be re-addressed by the Post Office.
54. A letter service de luxe to be established. I would invite designs for a handsome express stamp, value 3d. This express stamp would insure delivery, (1) of any special letter of great importance, (2) of a letter on Sundays throughout London, and (3) it would also insure a letter catching the Continental or late-country post. It would be delivered by a special bicycle messenger.
Considering the importance of publishing Empire news throughout Great Britain and Ireland, I hope you consent to the registration in this country, at the present rate for British newspapers, of all newspapers published in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, the West Indies, and all the other colonies and dependencies of the British Empire, so as to enable them to be reposted at a moderate postage rate to friends in this country.
56. "Baggage smashing" to be stopped or paid for.
57. London should be made one district in regard to the redirection of parcels.
