CORPORATION
FEES GIVE
$37,602.50

The state OF Rhode Island has done a
pretty good business in making new corr
porations this year and in allowing the
old corporations TO increase their capital
stock, and up-to-date IL has netted the
state 376O2.50, which is considerably bet
ter than the estimate OF $4,000. made at
the beginning OF the year. 1t is In some
respects a phenomenal showing, and
though the 81 contributions or the social
and literary corporations are not much
in themselves, they have, by the great
number OF them, helped out amazingly.
A corporation with a capital stock OF a
million must pay the state 1900 before IL
porations up To 100000 must pay I'm 500,
which Is the minimum fee.
Last year the returns was little be-
low the estimate. $24. .459 being received,
and $3.50 being the estimate. but this
years difference Will more than make up
for that, and there are several days yet
10 spare in the month
A considerable amount of the gain was
given by the Increase of capital stock OF
several big corporations allowed by the
general assembly last session.
CAPITALS INCREASED.
The largest increase was that of the
Nicholson File company. which brought
the state $4,000. The Industrial Trust
company brought $4,000 from it's SO, 600 600
increase. Providence Telephone company
$4,000, Narragansett Electric Lighting COM
pany $1,000. Royal Weaving company
$1,000. Providence Gas company si750,

company (new) $1,000. Atlantic mills OF
Rhode Island $1,000. Silver Spring Con-
