MORE THAN 100000
SAVINGS CERTIFICATES
sold AT POST0FFICE

More than 100000 worth of treas
ury savings certificates (face value)
has been sold at the. local postoffice
since the middle of last December. ac-
cording to Postmaster c. B. Beck
AS the mature value of the certifi-
Gates is one-ffth more than the cash
price, by deducting this amount one
learns that the more than 100000
worth of certificates represents about
$4,000 in cash which has come into
the local postoffice for the certificates.
During the last Is days of Decem-
ber. according to Postmaster Beck,
about $500 worth of certificates were
bought. In January the largest amount
was sold. the total in face value be-
ing $45,000. February's certificate sale
emounted to about $4,000, and up to
the present date of this month, approx
imately $4,000 worth have been pur-
chased
Mr.. Beck points out that any time
after go days the holder of certificates
can cash them in if the need arises.
However, the greatest value in holding
the certificates is in keeping them un-
til maturity, which in each case is five
years from the date of purchase.
Smaller Denominations
Small business has been done with
the sale of 10 cent postal saving
stamps and 81 savings stamps, it was
learned These smaller denominations
are offered to permit one a means of
saving until $40 has been accumulated
so that $25 savings certificate (face
value) can be bought No interest
is offered on the 10 cent stamps as
they are but means to use in saving
for larger amounts.
Interest yield on the certificates is
four and one-half per cent compounded
semi-annually, if held to maturity. Tax
exemption both as to principal and in
terest from all state, county and local
taxes Except estate and inheritance
taxes) and from normal federal in
come tax is offered.

been let.
Early Contracts
Advantages of letting contracts
early in the year were cited by a city
official Friday, who called attention
to the number of men kept employed
on the Randolph street sewer at time
when unemployment was at it's worst
The sewer was put through in the
middle of winter, and men who would
otherwise have been dependent on the
county or township were given EN-
ployment
According to new ruling of the
public service commission, all streets
to be improved must have gas and
water mains laid first All adjoining
properties must be connected with the
gas and water mains before paving is
laid. This phase of the work has kept
large number of men busy The gas

OPPOSED To FEWER ELECTIONS

Gentlemen:
/. win you permit me to call your
readers attention to what seems to be
a backward" proposal which IL to
be voted on this fall
The "Fewer Elections" Amendment
which is widely advertised as an "eco-
nomy" measure contains u provision
that Members Of the House of Dele
gates shall be elected for two terms.
This would mean that the legislature
would be put beyond the voters con-
troll for four years. II IL entirely pro-
per 10 elect administrative officers for
such term. but lawmakers should be
In close touch with the voters; and
how can the voters properly register
their sentiments except by an election ?
This provision does not mean Few
er Elections" ut all. We will still hold
Congressional Elections every two
years and the much Wanted Saving
could have been secured by electing
members Of the House Of Delegates
NJ each Congressional election.
The declaration Of Rights Of the
Constitution Of Maryland states:
THAT the right Of the People to
participate In the Legislature Is the
best security Of liberty and the foun-
dati0n Of all free government; for this
purpose elections ought to be free and
frequent"
