Wall Reacts To Phasing Out of Saturday Mail

Mixed back of reactions from Wall residents

  • Thursday, February 7

Wall residents' opinons were mixed Tuesday in reaction to the U.S. Postal Service's announcement that it will end Saturday mail delivery this year.

Last Chance: Mail Your Income Tax Returns

Federal and state income tax returns must be postmarked by Tuesday, April 17

Federal and state income tax returns must be postmarked by Tuesday, April 17, to meet this year's deadline — which falls two days later than normal this year because the traditional April 15 deadline was Sunday and because the District of Columbia celebrates Emancipation Day on Monday, April 16. But don't expect extended hours at the U.S. Post Office branch location on Belmar Boulevard. Those doors close at 4:45 p.m. Extended post office hours on Tax Day were common before the era of electronic filing dramatically decreased the demand for them. The branch office in Spring Lake Heights, 2407 Route 71, typically has extended hours for those tax returns. See more information on mailing your tax return through the U.S. Postal Service.
