NEW HAVEN'S POSTOFFICE,

Great Increase is Reported by the
Postmaster-The Receipts in All De-
partments Much Larger.
Postmaster Howarth has completed
his annual report showing the amount
of business transacted at the local
postof1ice during the year ending June
80, 1901. The report shows a substan-
tial increase in business over last
year. During the year the total num-
| Der of domestic money orders issued
was 9,107, amounting to 1914, 66e.37 in
cash value. The total number Of for
eign money orders issued was 6,074.,
the value OF which was sS5,419.11. At
the local office 112433 domestic orders
were paid, the value of which was
1904 08S,22. Foreign orders to the
| number of 1854 were paid at the local
office, their value being $1S,2S922. The
business in this department this year
was nearly double what 1t was last
year.
| The amount of business done for the
year ending June 80 last at the local
office, including the sale Of stamps and
supplies, was $2SS,000, as against 1894
| 1888 the year before. This is an in
crease of over $4,000 over last year.
This sum does not include fees on
money order business to which the
office is entitled.
The total number of pieces of reg
istered matter handled during the year
was 252,SS7 while the year before the
total was 211, 466.
Postmaster Howarth finds that peo-
pie living on the outskirts of the city
are still slow in taking advantage Of
the opportunities offered by the post
office department of handing registered
letters to carriers. This system was
established many months ago but the
very people whom it was supposed to
benefit appear to be slow In taking
advantage of it. These letters can be
given TO letter carrier with Just as
much safety as though they were reg
istered at the general postoftfce. The
system has proved very popular in
the other cities in which it has been
introduced but for some unknown rea-
son it has not appealed to the people
Of this city as much as was anticipat-
ed
TO show the absolute safety with
which money can be transmitted in
this way the fact that the money
order business at the local office, rep
resenting about 81 100000. was trans
acted without the loss of a penny. The
system Is perfectly asfe and the COM
perativc cost to the sender IS very
small indeed. The increase Of over
s23, 0UG in the general business of the
postoFice as against an increase of
about $4,000 In the same department
the year before, gives a good idea of
the growth of business generally in
this city during the twelve months
ending last month. None of the fig
ures contained in the postmaster's re-
port include the business transacted at
any OF the stations in the city.

Interesting Tournament Played There

Interesting Tournament Played There
Saturday.
Considerable interest Is being mani
tested in golf at Woodmont, and during
the past week a tournament was com
pleted which was one of the most sue
cessful ever held over the links in that
delightful summer resort. Saturday
was the featured day, for the finals

who made a 70 for the eighteen holes.
The second prize was won by G. W.
Goodsel, of Bridgeport, whose card
showed a rs. The third prize was
awarded to Fl. Baldwin, of New Haven,

THE NEW TAX LAW.

Opinion by the Corporation Counsel,
The corporation counsel has given
an opinion to the assessors In reference
to the new tax law.
This law says assessors may sum-
mon before them any taxpayer who
has failed to make out his list within
the prescribed time and have him take
oath to his list before them.
The assessors wanted to know wheth-
er the law meant that they would be
compelled to summon every delinquent
or had discretionary power In the
matter.
The corporation counsel decides that
they have discretionary power. That
the word may does not mean shall,
and they may use their own discretion
in the matter.
If after being summoned taxpayer
refuses to take oath he may be fined
a sum not to exceed $1,000.

Infant life in every large community

The adulteration of milk. is almost
beyond discovery--exceptt to the
chemist. One of the most dangerous
of all adulterants is Forlnaldehyde,
known to the trade in some instances
as Preserva1ine, and by like names.
The President of the Connecticut
Board of Health traces So per cent. Of
infant deaths in summer to this drug
used by milk dealers to keep milk
"sweet" during warm weather.
The utmost vigilance and care of
the health officers, followed by the
severe penalties inflicted by the courts,
have not had so deterrent effect on
INSCRIPTIONS dealers as might be ex-
pected. The prospect of total loss of
stock is too strong temptation to
most dealers, and they will brave the
law rather than GO out Of business
even a day.
The only positive protection is to
avoid the use of milk sold by measure
or handled in bulk.
This means the use of condensed
milk.
There is condensed milk prepared
in Michigan that is especially valuable
as a complete food. 1t is reduction
of the milk of clover-fed cows, and is
canned Immediately it is taken frsrn
the cows, before any change is effected
by the atmosphere. 1t is very rich in
butter fats and milk sugar, but its
chief food value lies in skillful
blending of the phosphates and hypo-
phosphites found in wheat with the
