Truck Crashes Auto An automobile operated by Charles Moss of New Britain was crushed and Moss himself was lucky to escape serious injury when the machine was struck on East Main street last night by a heavy truck owned by the Byrolly Trans- portation Co. of Waterbury and op- erated by George Abbott of South Main street, Waterbury. Moss had been in Burt's Place for a bit of lunch, and when he came out he got into his car, signalled he was going to turn about, and swung out into the road. The truck was coming up behind him and attempted to avoid him by swinging out to the left into the road. Moss has swung over the first trolley tracks and was on the sec- ond when the big van strulk the left front wheel of his car. The im- pact spun the lighter vehicle about and the truck then crached full into the rear of it, driving it for 50 feet and almost overturning ft. The passenger car was badly ‘A‘Hlflllt‘d. while the truck was damaged. Constable George Schu- bert investigated but was told both cars were insured, %o he took no action. Post Office Receipts Less The Plainville post office handled more mail in 1928 than in any previous vear, but the receipts were less than those of 1 . Postmaster | James K. Usher aunounced today, This scemingly paradoxical condi- tion, he explained, was brought about by the reduction of postage rates on third class mail from 1% cents to one cent, Plainville fac- tories, Mr. Usher said, send out great | quantities of this type of mail, and the loss of the extra half-cent on i:.»ch piece cut deeply into the re- ceipts, slashing off an estimated $2.- 100 from the inailing bill of the rumbull Electric Mfg. Co. alone. Thus a 33 1-3 per cent decrease in rates brought about a decrease in revenue, whercas the local office sent out more pieces of mail than cver before. The amount of incoming mail also was heavier than in past years, while the Christmas business was {the largest on record.
