Law Does Not Stop Christmas Tree
Slaughter.

The records of the town of Mount
Holly. which is in the centre OF the
Christmas tree ira fife OF the state, show
that wholesale dealers who live outside
Vermont are finding a way to avoid the
payment of the license fee of rs cents
per tree, which is obligatory under a law
passed in 1910. The dealers say that the
fee is prohibitive and would drive them
out of business.
Practically no license fees have been
paid in Mount Holly this season, yet
about 200 carloads of young evergreens,
about the usual quota, have been shipped
to the city markets. The statute allows
a property owner to cut trees on his own
land without payment OF a license and
to be within the law wholesalers are os-
tensibly buying land which is rich In
young spruces and balsamS with the
tacit understanding that they may deed
1t back to the original owners after all
the young evergreens have been cut.
