The new post office at. Fort Adams, opened about two months ago, is said to be doing a large volume of business. In the city during the last few days, there has been a heavy increase of parcel mail necessitating extra deliveries. Additiona help was supplied by schoolboys.

Approximately J34.000, It was roughly estimated Saturday, will go inlo the Newport tax treasury this year from the four Federal Public'Housing Authority projects either In operation or under construction and soon to be in. operation in Newport.

It Is estimated that more than $16,500,000 will be paid into the Rhode Island municipal tax treasuries in lieu of 1912 and 1943 taxes on government-financed war housing projects In the state, according to an announcement by the Federal Public Housing Authority through the Office of War Information in Providence.

Regarding Tonomy Hill, Chairman Sullivan said that $22,600 was received last year, no less amount will be received this year, and it is hoped to gel more. Both of these projects he said, are real and have been contributing.

Re- garding the Dexter Place project, Mr. Sullivan estimated that $2,000 ay be received and believed out $1,200 may be obtained om Perry Mill. In both these ases, however, he emphasized at the amount would be reached ter conferences and discussion! ich as tluse held before the fig- for Tonomy Hill was reached.

The ilatcment said the 1943 Assembly ession was a "particularly disap- HjEnting one." "Tnrough direct manipulation, or call it what you will," league said, "major measures vere not allowed to come to either loor for discussion. The fate of Jie three juvenile court bills was decided by this fashion.

Another trick which does not fool those who follow the Assembly was used to kill any passage of a direct Drimary--that is to have each louse pass its own version, and then make no attempt to get together on a bill that would be acceptable to the other house."
