more road in proportion than that OF ital-
lowell. In regard to the tax rate there
IS some difference Augustus tax rate is
aiSJ mills and that of Halowcll - mills.
AuguStas tax rate is nearly three mills
more than Halloween. But as an offset
Augusta has an asset, which is the hest
kind of a business proposition. and this is
a water SYSTEM which brings Il revenue
of S5oe0 and the operating expenses of
which are about $1,000. The Rake con-
trolled by the water system is ample for
three or four such cities as Augusta. The
high level of the supply makes possible
a gravity system by which the expense
of pumping is almost nothing. In - years
this waterasystem will all he paid for
and then Augusta will have a revenue
which cannot be much less than $Jacn.
II the surplus revenue al the water sys-
tenn should be applied To our taxes it
would bring the tax rate nearly even

G. CARL of the Augusta Bord OF Trade
called the gathering to order for the
postprandial exercises. He thanked
the visitors from HallOweH for their
presence and explained that as this
was the monthly meeting of the Au-
Gusta Board of Trade some matters
ut business connected With the local
Beard of Trade would have 10 b. at
tended to-
The records Of the last meeting were
read by Secretary George w. Merrill
and a few other matters of business
transacted. T. c. Ingraham reported
briefly in regard to a meeting which
he attended at the Boston Chamber
of Commerce, which had for its pur-
pose the organization of all the New
England Boards of Trade under one
head. and said that he hoped when the
proper time come the Augusta Board
OF Trade would oecome affiliated with
the general organization 1t was de-
cided to have the Augusta Board of
Trade represented at further meet
ing at the Chamber of Commerce next
Saturday.
President CARL reported that Il COM
mittee from the Board of Trade had
conferred with a committee of the city
government in regard to the building
OF new railroad station at the foot of
Rines Hill. The plans had been drawn
and he hoped that suitable arrange
mentS in regard to abutting property
could be made so that such a report
could be presented to the Maine Cen
trail Railroad directors as to induce
them to vote favorably upon the pro-
posed new station.
President Carll called the attention
of the board to the coming conventions
Of the Maine Medical Society and the
Maine Teachers Association in this city
and said there was possibility of the
next encampment of the G. A. r. and
the allied patriotic organizations meet
ing here the coming year. 81
1t was suggested that similar sup
per be held in connection with the next
monthly meeting of the Augusta Board
of Trade on the first Monday evening
in February and that the newspaper
men in the city reporting the sessions
OF the Legislature be invited to attend.
The matter was left with committee.
Representatives elect Joseph William
son OF Augusta unfolded to the Hal
lowell visitors the proposition of the
annexation of their city. He said in
part: THE individual taste and in
terests of the two communities are
very similar No one can ever doubt
1t If they visit the morning trains in
either city and see the people going
back and forth that the two cities are
fast growing together in fact.
Let us see whether the two cities can
be united on a fair basis. The city Of
Augusta has population of about 1900
while Hallowell has population of
about 200. making Augusta about five
times that of Hallowell. HalIowell has a
debt of about $4,000 and Augusta a debt
Of $350.OO0, so here the ratio keeps about
the same. Augusta raises by taxation
about $195,00O and HallOwell about So, 900.
which is little more according to popu-
lation than Hallowel

Approximate Production Of Coal Dur
ing. 1910 in United States.

Washington, Jan. The production of
coal in the United States during 1910 was
between 4I5.0o0,00O and 4S50O0,OOO short
tons, considerable increase from the
output of 49, .704 short tons in 1909, an
approximately within ! per cent. of the
maximum previous record of $685. 4ai
tons produced in 1907.
This estimate was made by Edward

coal mine operators and others familiar
with the industry
THE most important factor influencing
the coal mining industry in $780," says
