The Connecticut Legislatures efforts to bring
about good roads movement among the Con-
necticut towns have bore fruit with unexpected
promptness. More than eighty towns have ap-
piled to the Highway Commission for the State
aid authorized by the law Of last spring, by
which the cost OF building the roads Is to be
assessed In three equal portions en- the town. the
county and the State. This means that a good
many miles Of road will be built under the State
Commissioners supervision and according TO
their specifications. insIrng uniformity OF con-
structon according TO the most approved
methods It is considerably beyond what was
viewed with general approval throughout the
State when II was enacted. The sum appropr-
ated 10 carry the work was small--only $685.
000--but there were complaints that the whole
plan only provided a way for some OF the towns
to build their roads Mt the expense Of others. 1t
Is to be hoped that the interest displayed In the
good roads question and the Improvement that
will result from It will effectually silence all
complaints Of this kind. The law Is a step In
the right direction, and the Connecticut Legis-
lature ought to see to II that the advantages
II confers are continued and multiplied In the
future 1t Is at once a benefit to the State and
an example to others less progressive
which unf ,rtunatcly. must be reckoned New

INDUSTRIAL FOPICS.

A Pottsville dispatch says: Since
the beginning Of . number OF actions
for damages against coal Oerators be-
cause Of culm washed on lands from
the collieriss owned or operated by the
coal companies. numerous settlements
have been made to avoid phe cost Of
lawsuits. On Tuesday there were
three deeds Of damages placed upon
record. one from John Koltz for 81. 1888:
another from Mr.. and Mrs. Alonza A.
Richards for $s68 and the third from
Margaret RAIN for $500. These PEI
sons are all owners OF land along the
Schuylkill In Schuylkill Haven. The
deeds are made to the Reading COM
parry. the Reading Coal and Iron com
pany and the managers Of the Schuyl-
kill Navigation company. the Della
ware Coal company and Mammoth

Philadelphia Press: The open cut on
anthracite coal freights by the Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western rail-
road was the chief topic Of converse
ton in coal circles yesterday. What
the effect Of It will be cannot be de-
termined for some time. but there will
no doubt be q disposition on the part
Of the other companies to ignore the
cut a. far as Ia possible. The Lacka-
wanna's defense - that other COM
panies through private contracts with
individual coal operators have practi-
cally reduced rates and that 1t is bet
ter to do business openly than in an
indirect way. The Lackawanna COM
pany. however, was one OF the first to
make contracts with Individual opera
tors on the basis Of tidewater prices.
and 4 few years ago when an effort
was made to put the trade on a better
footing the Lackawanna showed thai,
1t had such contracts and could not
get rid Of them. The action of the
Lackawanna company may have the
effect Of getting the coal companies
together and bringing about reor-
ganization Of the trade. There has
been a disposition for two months to
restrict tonnage. not to the point that
Is essert,ial to the future welfare OF
the trade. but to keep the output with
In certain limits. This policy. 1t is
hoped. will be continued this month,
but something further Is needed.
Stove coal has sold in New York and
New England on the basis of s2.65 per
ton, which is ruinous TO the producer.
In month or more the autumn trade
ought to open and before that time
those who control the trade ought to
agree upon q harmonious programme
for the year. The average prices of
coal on which carrying rates are based
received by one Of the great carriers
at New York in June was about $3.50
per ton, or slightly below the May re-
ceipts. The following are the actual
prices of the various sizes of coal:

The tide rates Of freight received in
June by The companies which have
contracts to purchase the coal Of indi-
vidual operators were. on the prepared
sizes, $l.R per ton; on pea coal. s1.29A,
and ON buckwheat, $l.23. 1t is most
remarkable that the smaller sizes
yielded larger returns than the more
important sizes. but it is explained by
the fact that on prepared sizes the
companies pay 60 per cent. Of the tide
price for the coal and retain 40 per
cent. for freight. On pea coal they
give the producer 45 per cent. of the
tide price and retain IS per cent, and
on buckwheat the division Is 80 per
cent. for the producer and 6S per cent.
for freight. 1t must be borne In mind
that the reduction of rates by the
Lackawanna not only affects contract
coal, which Is probably 30 per cent of
the total shipments. but all coal to tide
and the lakes, and 1t will also make
necessary changes In local rates.
