Limit on Money Orders Lifted.

According to a statement of the
Post Office Department, postal
money orders amounting to more
than $1OO,O0O,OO0 are issued
annually in the United States for
payment in foreign countries.
Of this amount Italy re-
ceives approximately $22,OOO,-
600, Great Britain and Russia
each $15,OOO,OOO, Austria $1O,-
100000, Hungary $8,00O,OOO,
Germany about $4,00O,OOO, and
France about $1,0O0,OO0.
AT the outbreak of the war the
unprecedented rise in the price
Of foreign exchange in New York
made it impossible for the De-
partment to obtain bills of ex-
change with which to liquidate
its Indebtedness to foreign postal
systems. It was then found nee
essary to issue an order re-
stricting to $1OO the amount that
might be sent to an individual
payee in European country.
Conditions have about returned
to normal so that the Depart
ment has removed the restric-
tion.

Improvement in Street Lighting.

Improvement in Street Lighting.
The Missouri Gas & Electric
Service Company is busy replac-
ing the old arc street lights with
a new 100 candle power gas filed
lamp. The old arc lights of
which there were 78, had been in
service a good many years and
were worn out. They cost the
city $3.50 each per month, or a
total of $5,522.40 a year. A 1O3
of the new lamps are being put
up, and will cost the city only
1925 each per month, or a total
of $2,781.O0 a year, thereby caus-
ing a saving of $2,741.40 a year.
More of these lamps will be in
stalled from time to time as the
situation warrants with a yearly
cost appreciably less than with
the arcs of which there were only
78.
