Hartford with one of the largest offices in the state, has reported an increase ol per cent.
 Tho last quarter shows an ln- crease of 21 per cent and December an increase of 22, per cent. MT cowles states that if there are any other post offices in the state With higher percentages he would ilke to hear from them.
 The receipts include money re- ,o;yed through the sale of stamps, ,.uyelopes. etc, but does not include money orders.

 Clerk Thomas J. Meskill of the New Britain fire board has answered the statement made by Adolph Schultz. chairman of the American Legion committee for better fire pro- lection. in regard to the cost of the fire service given by Ne" bf''aiil during 1927. Schultz claimed that the amount charged was s125o or s350 more than the figure gwen by the fire board clerk. In his eAplah-' ntjon NIT. Meskill states that the New Britain figures start from the heeinnjne of the fiscal year. in Aprlt. while the local mans figures start from the first of the calendar year. ,rhe difference of S35o which was charged for the protection given at thc Woodruff fire. appears on the New Britain report for the fiscal wear of 1922.
