| Abstract: | On the 1st January 1985 the Malta Postal Administration appropriately celebrated with justifiable pride, the first Centenary of its statutory establishment, one hundred years to the day earlier. Yet another historic and important Centenary, also worthy of commemoration and which also fell in 1985, is the introduction by the Government of Malta, of a regular postal service between the islands of Malta and Gozo, only just over five months following the establishment of the Malta Post Office. Notwithstanding the fact that one hundred years ago the volume of correspondence between the two islands was far from being anything like what it is to-day, yet the Malta Government rightly attached the importance such means of inter-insular communication deserved.
