A PROFIT OF OVER 100000.
Burlington Postoffice Paying Piece of
Property For Uncle Sam.

The gross receipts of the Burlington
postofficc for the year ending March LIST,
1909 were Sl26, $3.50. This sum is decrcas-
ed by the operating expenses by s23, 4Sl. IS
and leaves Il total net profit of $lO2, sos. %.
This net profit exceeds that of the pre-
Nious year by Sl5,G50s2. This pro-
fit is more than the yearly receipts
of any Vermont postoffce with four eX-
ceptions which are Rutland, ST. Albaus,
Montpelier and Bratteboro. This com
parison Is necessarily made from the
figures given in the annual report of The
auditor of the postoffiCe department for
the year ending June Goth, 1899.
The figures are very gratifying to the
management of the office and show a
healthy growth of business for the city.
1t also shows that il would require less
than the profits of two years at this Of

ICE LEAVES THE CONNECTICUT.

warm weather for the past few days has
raised the river rapidly and to the north
