more than half of all the marble pro-
duced in this country in 1898. Dur
ing the past nine years Vermont has
made large gains in the value of
her granite production. In 1898 the
value of granite producedin the state
is reported as 1851 $40 and the
state stood ninth among the states
producing granite. In 1898 she is
reported as having produced granite
to the value of 81 ,O84, 218 and takes
second place, Massachusetts, leading
with a production of $1,650, sos.
Vermont and Pennsylvania are the
two largest producers of slate; the
latter's output being more than all
the other states combined. The
larger part of the marble and slate
interests of the state are located in
Rutland county, while Barre and
Woodbury. are the great granite pro-
ducing sections of Vermont.

paced on the statute books. All the
county auditors in the northern
counties assessed the land held bv
the railroad companies by virtue OF
their grants from the government.
and the taxes became DELINQUENT last
March.
A prominent railroad attorney said
no road taxed by the Anderson bill
would pay the taxes on its govern
ment grant lands until the supreme
court decided they must do so.
1T is stipulated in the charters
which the roads received" )" he said to
reporter for the Globe, 'that none of
the lands granted to the roads should
be taxed separately, but that the 2
per cent gross earnings tax paid 70
the state should absolve them from
paying any tax on their land grants.
The matter was taken to the state
supreme court after the passage OF
the Anderson bill, and the court de-
cided against the roads. who there
upon took the case to the United
States supreme court. This was done
two years ago, and we have not re-
ceived decision. Nothing can be
done against Us until the supreme
court has acted.'
