that the conduits were listed for taxation
and it devolved upon them, at the stated
tax-paying periods. to call or send for bills

way to give notice to taxpayers of de-

directs or authorizes the delivery of gem

owner or agent. and the statement of the
writer alleging delay In sending them is
inconsistent with the requirements of the
office
within the past month in listing ar
rears of taxes for 1901 it was discovered
that this account was not paid ard
search was made to any further ar
rears, when the 1900 tax was also found to
be unpaid; it was then deemed oxpedicnt

coal fields, is borne out by the statistics. 1t
appears that four years ago the total ex-
ports amounted to 212, 273 tons, Ceylon TAX
ing quite half Of the output and the Straits
Settlements $3.50 tons. In that year
France, who is always a ready buyer OF
steam coal, purchased a consignment for
testing purposes, and small cargo Of the
same grade of coal came to this country to
be scientifically examined.
The analysis was highly satisfactory, and
the calorific power determined by the ex-
perts showed that 100 tons of Bengal steam
coal would give the same results as eighty
five tons of the best Welsh steam coal.
When this was known the coal properties
in Bengal were snapped up by Europeans
in Calcutta, and the return on capital in
vested has proved in every way most salts
factory, so much so that today their export
trade has reached 100000 of tons, as
against 100000 ten years ago.
At present it is said that the British and
India Steam Navigation Company have the
biggest grip on the trade. They carry east
of Alden as far as Japan, and have secured
ing a serious effect on the Welsh market.
The life of the seams in the Bengal fields
cannot be accurately computed, the deep
est shaft in the country is only 600 feet,
the seams are thirty feet to fifty feet thick
and run for miles. There is an abundant
crop of surface coal, and large number
of the collieries do not consider 1t neces-
sary to sink shafts, but depend on the out
put from their Quarries.
