By the plans which were prepared under the direction of Civil Engineer George E. Pitcher for the laying of the trolley tracks for the Boswell ave- nue extension. it is shown that in ad- dition to gaining the trolley line, the street will be considerably improved at several points.
 This begins with the Boswell avenue hill which will have have its grade cut down from foot to foot and half when the tracks are laid in the centre of the street. The street has such a crown now that the north side is on such a slope, particularly by the side of the park as to be of little use for driving, but the level at which the trolley tracks are to be of this crown. It has been provided with the Connecticut company that what they take out here in cutting down to the grade called for is to be carted further up Boswell avenue and used for filling at a point on the north side of the street above Hick- ory street. There will be some ledge struck near the crown of the Boswell avenue hill.
 There is also some ledge to be blast ed on the south side of the street at g point above Roath street near the Boswell avenue school. Running the track in a center line here brings it up close to the big ledge of rock which must be blasted out to give a full width.
 Above Hickory street on the north side of Boswell avenue is a stretch of 300 or 400 feet where the sidewalk is up in the middle of the street now All along here the place where the side walk ought to be is lower than the street, and a retaining wall would have to be built by the city, but the Con- neetieut company would do the filling

explaining the new parcel post system
which goes into effect on January l.
The map shows how the country is di-
vided into units of about Is miles
square, each having a different num-
Der, and from these units radiate the
different zones. Warren is located
in Unit No. 3O02, and the postage on
parcels sent from this unit is deter
mined by the zone charge to that unit
in which the parcels destination is To-
Gated. There is separate map and
zone system for each unit. 1t must be
borne in mind that ordinary postage
stamps will not carry parcels, also
that all parcels must bear the return
card of the sender. Notice also that
there is local rate, applying to the
local postoffice and rural routes, and
that this is very much lower than the
rate for the smallest zone. This
provision ought to prove big advan,
tage to the local merchants.
