Catholic Union at Bellows Falls.

The Catholic Union MINISTRIES of
Brattleboro are pretty clever lot. 1t
would never do TO admit that any Brat
tleboro aggregation is superior to home
talent, but it is only fair to say that
the entertainment given in the opera
house Tuesday evening closely APP
preached the Bellows Falls standard.
The house was packed and the audience
was liberal with both applause and
praise. 1t seemed to entirely forget it
was not listening to professionals. The
company contained about 30 members
and was accompanied by a delega-
ton of friends. There we're so many
good features in the entertainment
that the Times does not care to get
itself disliked by making special
mention. Suffice it to say that J. p
Ferriter's poem Oh the local depot made
a great hit: that Miss O'Connor' 5 sing
ing was excellent and that the electric
drill under the direction of E. ]. Fen
ton was a remarkably good thing In
short. the entertainment had little
that could be criticized and much that
should be praised. = Bellows Falls

Bridge Committees Meet.

The bridge committees of the towns
of Brattleboro and Hinsdale held a
consultation Wednesday in regard to
making preparations for the construc-
tion of a new bridge across the Con-
necticut No definite plans were decid-
ed upon but Frank Liscom of Hinsdale,
an experienced bridge builder, was in
structed to draw up set of specitica-
tions to be sent to different bridge
companies in order that they may
know what to bid upon.
At the special town meeting held in
Hinsdale Saturday the following reso-
luton was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, that the town of Hinsdale
votes to build a steel bridge across the
Connecticut river at Brattleboro on the
site of the old bridge in accordance
with the vote of Brattleboro on May
10. 1902. the expense of said bridge to
the town of Hinsdale not to exceed
fourth of the total cost of the
same: provided, however. that any
electric road using said bridge shall
reimburse the town of Hinsdale for any
additional expense incurred in build
ing and maintaining such bridge above
the expense of a bridge suitable for or
binary travel.
The selectmen were authorized to
borrow on the credit of the town a sum
not exceeding 5000 for the purpose of
paying for the same. The matter of
supervision of the details was left in
the hands of the selectmen.

No RELIEF FROM
COAL SITUATION
Reading Officials Say it Will Be
Impossible to Supply
the Demands.
NV Associated Press.l


PHILADELPHIA, PA, December IS
officials of the Reading Railroad Com
pany hold out no hope Of relief from the
OF esent anthracite coal strinsency this
winter despite the effo-ts on the part Of
the company to mine and ship to its full
capacity.
..Under moral conditions said one Of
thu officials 1.-The anthracite production
never is equal to the demand during the
winter months, and the Reading and all
the other anthracite companies have been
obliged to draw upon the stock at various
storage points to help out the demands
of the trade. This year theje is not a
pound of coal a t any Of these storage
points. and consumers are dependent en-
tirely upon the daily output OF the mines.
practically all Of the Reading Com
pany's co.lieries are in operation. The
company shipped from the mills during
the past two days nearly 1890 cars OF
coal. This means daily production OF
nearly $4,000 tons.
Reading Company officials decline to
discuss the question as to whether the
advance OF 50 cents ton made in Oc-
tnber would hold good during 1903. but
they admitted that it would certainly rule
beyond January l. 1903. the date fxed by
President Baer for reduction to the old
rate.

Do Not Think Institution Should
Be Made to Pay Sewer Tax
Levied Against 1t.

Tor the first time since its creation and
organization last July, the Council Com
mittee on Local Assessments met yester-
day afternoon at o'clock for the pur-
pose Of considering petition from the
trustees Of Richmond College in reference
20 e culvert tax, agsregatinS about s1,2V
which has been levied on the property OF
the institution at Broad, Grace, Franklin
and Lombardy Streets. This tax has
been accommodating for the past six or
seven wears, and no action has ever been
taken with reference to it either by the
CITY or the trustees of the institution
until lately.
AT the meeting yesterday afternoon a
number of the trustees were heard from,
and Commonwealth S Attorney Richard
son, acting for City Attorney Pollard.
rendered an oral opinion i'll regard to the
matter, after which, on motion OF MIR.
Crenshaw, the body adjourned to meet
again at some future date. when the clerk
of local assessments and the collector OF
delinquent taxes will appear to throw
additional light on the matter
It seems that there is in existence an
ordinance requiring that a tax OF ten
cents per foot shall be charged upon all
property having sewer connections and
al,utting on the streets Of the city. 1t
was under this law that the tax was
levied against the Richmond College. and
i: is approximately $3.50 a year
Yesterday afternoon Mr. c. H. Ryland.
financial secretary Of the institution; DR..
William E. Hatcher, president of the
Ecard- of Trustees: Mr.. T. G.. Williams.
chairman of the Finance Committee, and
Mr.. n w. Bowe. one of the trustees. all
had a word or two to say. They seemed
willing to pay any ujst debts. but seemed
TO think this tax too heavy.
Mr. Richardson said that owing to the
TACT that City Attorney Pollard was q
member of the Board of Trustees of the
college, he had consented to appear for
him. He gave as his opinion that the city
could levy the sewer tax and collect the
same.
