Postals Barred From Malls,
Following the lssuing of the recent
order barring posteards from the mails
because they carried announcements
indicating the addressees were in debt
to certain firme and telling them to cal
at the offices to settle, it is learned
that the government may now extend
the ruling tc include those sent as tax
notices, It appears that the ruling of
the department prohibits the sending
olit of such matter and now that
merchants are barred from employing
it, the order may become general and
sceordingly extended to tax collectors.
