No More POstman Calls Where There
Are No Mail Receptacles

The Postofice department has is
sued an order that at the end of four
months no mail is to be delivered at
any dwelling house not having a slot
or approved receptacle for mail at the
front door. The Postofice department
states that TO- per cent of the people
show their appreciation of the daily
postman by having either letter slot
or receptacle for mail, but the other
80 per cent are apparently Indifferent.
The time it takes the postman to stop,
ring door bells and wait for dwellers
to respond to get their mail not only
adds to the burden of each mail car
rier but delays the delivery Of all 9th
er mail. For that reason the order
has been issued that at the end of
four months all dwellings not equip
ped with proper mail receptacles will
not be furnished with mail delivered
by postmen.

BANK CHANGES
 DIVIDEND DAFT g

The Board of Trustees of the Bridgeport Savings Bank has voted to change the dates upon which divid- ends shall be paid to depositors. Be- ginning December 1st next dividends will be. paid December 1st and June lst each year instead of January 1st and July 1st as in the past.
 This change has been made in order that our depositors may be relieved from the crush and rush of busi- ness inevitably present in January and July. It will allow the bank to give much quicker service to its de- 'positors and to more satisfactorily and expeditious1y serve them
 It will allow the depositors to re- ceive their dividends a month before the usual semi-annual periods In every way the Board of Trustees be- Heves that this change will be bene
 ficial and appreciated by the depos- ltors. The next dividend therefore will be declared and credited to de- posftors on December 1st instead of January 1st and will be for the period of 5 months from July 1st to Decem- Der 1st at the rate of 1-2 per cent per annum. The dividend following Will be declared and credited June 1st 1923 and will be for the full 6 months period from December 1st to June 1st.
