A statement issued Friday by Postmas-
ter John P. Murphy shows that there is
on deposit in the postal savings depart

lowing is a list of Connecticut postal saw
ings depository pdstoffices with amounts

$1O1,611.
The total deposits in the United States
Postal Savings System on March 1st were
approximately $163,35 900 That the
system continues to render valuable SER
vice to it's many patrons is evidenced by
the fact that the deposits with it during
the month of February amounted to more
than 100000. Despite disturbed con-
ditions in certain localities, which t1epos-
Its indicate are rapidly becoming adjust
ed, in many sections savings deposits
have increased by leaps and bounds.
During the month Of February the fol-
lowing offices made gains of over $780,
600:
New York N. Y, $ss4,27s; Boston

One hundred and forty-nine postal saw.
