STATEMENTS ATTACHED
TO REDUCE EXPENSE
Publisher Saves Cost of Stamps by
This Method of Rendering State
ments

AS announced last week, we are
this week rendering statements to
those whose subscription is due by
attaching the same to the paper, as
permitted by the postof1ce depart
ment.
This affords us a material saving
of SO to SIS each time statements
are sent out, and as they are sent
from five to eight times a year, the
saving at the end of the year will
buy a half ton or more of print
paper even at the present exhorbi-
tant prices.
This method is not as convenient
as slipping the statement into an
envelope as care must be taken to
get the right statement on the right
paper, and we hope our subscribers
will respond to this call so promptly
that it will not be necessary to at
tach the statement more than once
a year.

An innovation at police head
quarters. or the Mayors office, that
will insure better police protection is
a bell located just outside the main
entrance TO the building which can
be connected with the telephone and
all summons TO the phone can be
heard some distance away. The bell
was secured and installed through the
efforts of Mayor Cavender and will
make it possible for the residents TO
get into communication with a police
officer at any hour OF the night. Here
tofore telephone calls would be ans
wered at night il an officer happened
10 be in the Mayors Office or near
by. but many times the telephone
would ring and there would be no
one 10 answer il. often these calls
would be for an officer. and no mat
ter how urgent the need for a po-
liceman. would be made in vain. Now
with the bell installed. the phone is
switched over to It when the Office is
to be left vacant. and an officer on
that beat, especially, at night when
things are quiet, can hear tho call If
anywhere near the building.
