The front pocket contained nearly 400
tons OF Pocahontas coal, bituminous. be-
longing to the Rhode Island hospital.
The north pocket which was also de-
stroyed held about 500 tons OF Scotch coal.
The next two pockets south contained
about 5000 tons OF soft coal belonging to
the Atlantic mills OF Olneyville.

what the insurance companies figure and
allow.

BARGE IN DANGER.
The barge Moonbeam was In danger OF
burning
So great was the heat that the tar on
the port side OF the Moonbeam was melt

smoked and the craft was apparently

Several streams were played upon the
barge and it's own donkey pump having
been started up. deckhands kept two

at the Providence Coal Co.'S wharf, was
towed up the stream In time to prevent
her being damaged.

rebuilding OF the pockets and a noon had

BANK TAXES
Bank Examiner TimborIake
Thinks They Should Be Reduced

Augusta. Me-, Jan D.--In a statement
issued today State Bank Examiner Fre-
mont Z. Timberlake favors a reduction
by the present legislature or the taxa
tion on savings banks and furnishes sta
tistics TO show why a reduction should
occur. He says:
The savings banks have paid for
years tax generally admitted 10 have
been too large. When this tax was first
placed on these institutions, the state
took less than one-twelfth OF the net
profits and the depositors received
eleven-twelfths in dividends. while now
the state takes nearly one-fourth and the
depositors receive little more than
three-fourths."
