VOTERS PRACTICED ON THE MACHINES Many Refreshed Their Memories in Preparation for Tuesday -Election \ Insall the districts of the t6wn on Thursday there were a good number of voters who took advantage of the opportunity to refresh their recollec- tions as to the workings of the voting machines which will be uged In the election on Tuesday. The registrars and assistant registrars were on hand at the polling places to give instruc- tions to any who wanted to be shown what" to do/to voto straight or split tickets. . In the first district, but in none of the others, there will be two more op- portunities for the voters to learn about the machines, as they will be demonstrated in the corridor of the Town hall, both on Saturday and on Monday afternoan and evening. Taking a lesson from what happen- ed in the last election, when it was ascertained that a number of voters used the resetting lever and thus can- celeq their vote, under the impressios, probably, that they were recording it, a vellow printed tag has been at- tached to that lever this year with these words on it: “If you pull this lever you may cancel your vote, Ask the machine tender.” EXTRA_TIME BY ASSESSORS.

GREAT GROWTH OE POSTAL SAVINGS Norwich Office Has $63,240 on Hand to Credit of Deposit- ors—374 Accounts Now Open—105 New Accounts Since July 1st—Circulars Giving Rules and Regulations Printed in Eight Languarges. - In union with the remarkable growth which the postal savings system en- joys in this country the present day it will interest our readers to know how the Norwich post-office stands in this Tespect. The system was first ordered here on instructions from the department on Thursday, Sept. 2 1911. At the close of business on Wednesday evening, Oct. 28th, Post- master William Caruthers found that the ‘accounts now opened numbered 374, with savings to the amount of 63,240. Since July 1, 1914, 105 new ac- | Ne counts have been opened, rating at the|N average of 35 per month, which would seem to indicate that the public are becoming more enlightened as to this branch of saving money over which Uncle Sam has made such a huge suc- cess. That the people of foreign birth may understand and enjoy the system the government has seen fit to print rules and regulations governing the convenient for the working people while many take advantage of Sat- urday afternoons to make their weekly deposit. Circular matter in all the languages can be had at the window for the asking. The window is lo- cated in the money-order and registry dopartment. Financialy Statement.
