money orders and postal savings nave amounted to $31O.000, money orders amounting to $245, ,090, postal savings to S65, ,000 There is now on deposit at the local office S155,0o0 in postal savings
 An idea of the work done during the year can be gained from the following, postmaster O'Rourke said: Registered letters sent out have tota1led 5000, H. coming 11.000, and transit letters have totalled several thousands.
 Since January 1st. treasury certificates to the value of S15,0o0 have. been bought through the local office Sales of stamps and postal delivery returns during the past year have amounted to $43,s55, this being the factor in making the Williman- tic office in the select class, anything over S4OO00 assuring entrance to this class. Willimantic hopes to continue in the select class.
 To a great extent the entering of the local office into the select class came about through the use of the mails by lo- cal industries in sending parcels, instead of using freight or. express, which has been found to be slower.
