Postmaster W. W. Fagon of the Kensington postofice has completed his inspection trip along the rural free delivery route in Berlin. Mr. Fagan reports that there are eight pecople who have been asked to move their mail boxs so that it will not incon- venience the carrier in leaving mail. Several others have also been asked to make minor changes in regard to the position of their bexcs. The trip is made twice a year by the postmaster so that he may ac- quaint himself along the route.covered by the rural carriers and order changes made. Tomorrow will mark the close of the postal improvement week which is being observed in‘every postoflice throughout the country. In Berlin, the Kensington, East Berlin, Berlin and Beckley offices are observing the week. “If the people of the town have only learned to mail parcels as well as letters early in the da. P 1l im- provement week will be a success,,' Mr. Fagan at the Kensington office said this morning. In talking over the postal situation in Kensington Mr. Fagan said that very few complaints have ever been received at the local department. Mail Larly Postmaster Il'agan wishes to em- phasize the fact that as many people as possible should mail their parcels early in the day arfd not leave it un- til late in the afternoon to go out on the last mail, as the train which takes the last mail out of Berlin is called | the ‘“clean up train” and gathers all the mail from the various towns and cities from Springfield to New Haven. The mail car, acording to Mr. Fagan i3 usually crowded when it reaches Berlin at 7:57 o'clock and hefore it gets to New Haven is often jammed thus possibly causing many of the par- cels to be crushed. At the local office first attention is paid to the factory mail in the late afternobn. Money Order Notice Kensington people are also remind- ed of the fact that money orders and registered letters will not he made out after 5 postmaster also states that parcels will not be insured after this hour and people desirous of sending money or- ders, registered letters or insuring parcels should come to the post office before 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Several Work w repairing the depot to the weeks ago the New York, New Hav en| and Hartford rairoad company had crushed stone placed over this road. The passageway was left in a poor condition and’' many automobile tires were cut up because of the big stones Several trucks, which were heavily loaded, also became stalled in the stone. It is said that complaints were sent to the main oflice of the railroad company which necessitated the im- provements being made today. Small crushed stone is being put over the heavy stone.

For many years past there have not been any signs on street corners to direct strangers. There has also been a discussion as to many of the streets having more than one name. It is not an uncom- mon sight to see a stranger stop a resident of this towp to inquire where j'so and so” lives. He will be told in words similar to these: ‘‘Why he lives on New Britain road which is just around the corner.” To make sure that he is right the stranger will ask a second party where the same person lives.apd he will be told something like this: *“That man lives on the Beach Swamp Road.” Having heard the two different names the stranger will in all probability stop a third per- son to inquire and will learn to his advantage that:New Britain road and Beach Swamp road are one and the same road leading from New Britain into Kensington. A town meeting was held a few years ago at which time many of the streets were renamed or those which had none were given names. Many wesidents feel that another meeting should be held at which a final deci- sion should be made. Constabulary Vacant Securing a constable for East Ber- lin I8 proving a tiresome job for the town officials. It has been learned that Timothy Dehan has sent in his resig- nation claiming that he is too busy to do his own work and act as a con- stable the same time. It appears as though there is no one in the town desirous of the position inasmuch as there have been two resignations so far this year. f Middietown Makes An Increase.
