COAL and
FREIGHTS
SOARING
Dealers Say There Is Now 81
Difference In Cost asCompared
With October Prices Last Year

According to the coal dealers there Is
anthracite coal as compared with the
prices OF october OF last year. There Is a
boost OF 80 cents ton given by the oper-
ators In their most recent statement,
which Information Is sent here from Phil
adelphia. There Ia also an increase of
from 20 to 35 cents a ton In freightage,
and the prospect is that before coal is
received here the cost will be fully 81 a
ton more than a year ago.
The increase In price OF coal is directly
the viii OF the operators. IL is said that
they, with large interests In the trans
portaton companies. seek to send the
rates for transportation skyward thus
getting something at both ends and max
ing up from the people the loss which
has been sustained by the operators be-
cause OF the strike.
When IL Is realized that this means
practically 81 more profit on every ton
OF coal shipped the public can under
stand how thoroughly they arc within
the hands Of the coal operators. 1t 10
maintained by people who are somewhat
informed regarding the sale OF coal that
the operators can make the prices what
they Will. and the people have TO pay for
~ all.
Today the cost OF transportation is 70
cents a ton from New York TO Providence
and there Is but little demand for vessels
because OF the lack OF coal at udewater.
The conditions have not greatly changed
save that the supply OF coal In the city
is not greater than It was yesterday and
the prospscts for getting more are about
as good. The dealers are selling soft coal
at $3.50 a ton and they say there Is gem
orally a loss at this price.

There was an impression that there

that II was strongly made up. but when

the board OF convsssers must count tho
votes. The warden did not announce nor
did he or the clerks count the votes for
candidates for the common council
Al an early point In the hearing the
court saw that the ballots had not been
properly certified TO the board OF can
vassers. one witnes, John l. Devlin,
Esq, proved the ballots were brought
TO the city hall and accepted by Chair
man Southwiok OF the board
The court finally decided that In an

counted by the board. The court seemed
TO think these 25 should have been

One Step Forward.

The city council is being con-
graduated upon the first step taken
last night toward securing for this
'city in the business portion, perma>
nent and durable sidewalks.
For several years past the Senti>
mel has contended that it was only
a waste Of money to the property
owners to permit them to lay plank
sidewalks. There was nothing per-
manent about them and they were
unsightly and gave the city a rag
ged appearance.
The city attorney was instructed
to prepare an ordinance making it
necessary for all sidewalks which
shall be laid on Main street be-
tween Third and Sixth, from the
present time forward, to be laid in
either cement. tagging or stone.
The above action is right in line
with the contention Of this paper.
With proper curbing and sidewalks
laid Of the materials mentioned
above, the permanent foundations
Of a city will be laid. No one thing
has done so much material injury
to the welfare Of the city. as
the retention Of the old plank side
walks. There are many places out
of repair and it matters not how
frequently they are renewed, they
soon become unsightly.
1t will work no injury to proper
ty owners, having property within
the limits which are provided by
the proposed ordinance as they are
not compelled to build new sides
walks until the old ones are con>
demned and to those who are cons
structing new buildings or laying
new sidewalks, the small increase
in the cost will be more than made
up in the value to the property.
