For the quarter year of April, May ajid June, posljj business was as for the past several years: 1940, SS.359.SOr 1941, 1942, 1943, and.

1944, S11.1SS.1S. In the money in 1943, there were 15,231 orders issued for $291.743.36, and in 1944 there were 10,626 orders issued for 5140,715:65. Postmafitor Green.point- ed out that the mclhod of paying federal taxes has changed greal- ly in the past two years, file payroll withholding- pian paying: for many a worker's income lax as ha earns it and consequently there is no need for further payment at the end of l-hc period. This cuts down 'money ovder requiramcn-ts for in a workers, Postaiioster Green slated. The Naugatuck post oflice in 1943 cashed 2.5G4 money orders, for S57.947.14.
