Notices have been posted in the Nor wich post office in compliance with in- struetions received from Washington. D. C., calling the attention of the public to the fact that the placing of special delivery stamps on mail matter does not insure safe delivery. Many believe that the placing of that stamp on a let ter or package answers the same pur- pose as registaring 1t or insuring it and constitutes the assuming of liability for the vlaue of the package by the depart ment.
 The special delivery stamp is for ex- pediting the delivery of letter and all valuable packages should be registered or insured, Postmaster John P. Murphy states.
