HAKMON. ? e Post Office Notice OMMENCING Saturday, Oct. 23, 1921. this office will be closed on Saturdays at 4 p. m., and the hour for closing the mail for Saint Thomas, Porto Rico fgd the United States will be extended 4 p. m., instead of 3 p. m. as at pres- ent. This change is occasioned by the fact that owing to the continuous de- mand for service at the post office win- dows on Saturdays until sp. m., it is practically impossible to divert th=2 necessary attention to closing and dis- patching the mail which should reach Frederiksted at a certain hour, and en- tails considerable time to make uap. While general business will be suspended at 4 p. m.. the public will gain one hour additional in which to cateh the outgoing mai!, andit is calculated that this ar- rangement should redound to mutual advantage for patrons and the service. As regards the mail from Frederiksted, it is so arranged that this will be deliver- ed by 4 p. m. The earnest cooperation of the public is invited in observing the proper hours in which post office service will be given pairons, and it must be enjoined that, while itis sincerely de- sired to extend the maximum facilities an' accommodation to all patrons at all times, demands for service when the office is necessarily closed for the taking up of specifiec luties, manifestly operate against the efficiency of the service and should be discouraged.
