MAY PUBLISH IN BURLINGTON.


Burlington, April 16.--It seems quite
possible that editions Of La Presse and
Ia Patrie, Montreal papers, may be
printed in this city as result Of the
new postal regulations whereby news
papers crossing the Canadian line are
taxed four times the former. postal rates
Representatives from the papers have
canvasSed this city and nearby cities
where they have large subscription lists
and find that their readers viii not stand
for an increase in the price.
Thus the only way out of the diff.
ficulty seems To be the construction oi
a plant on this side OF the line, in which
case Burlington is considered the most
available location.
