fore Mary b. Peaks. as commissioner, in

COAL TAX REFUND
WILL BE $7,OOO,OOO
Only Wholesalers Will Benefit,
Though, Not the Con-
suming Public

HAzLETON, Pa, April 24.---It Is rough
~ estimated here that about $1,000, 600 is
involved In the refund OF the anthracite
coal tax to wholesale buyers on the part
OF the operators. The big companies col
lected 10 cents ton on their output from
the time the Roney law, since declared un-
constitutional. became effective, in 1918.
The companies that have decided 70 re-
turn the tax are:
Lehish Valley Coal Company. Pennsyl-
vania Coal Company, Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company, D., T.,
and W. Coal Company. Lehlgh and Wilkes
Barre Coal Company and some Of the
smaller concerns
These companies kept record of the
amount of tax collected from every whole
sale customer and are now paying back
this money on demand In some cases 1t
runs as high as $1,000 in a single case
Individual consumers stand little chance
of getting back their money, either be-
cause the retailers who sold them did not
keep any records and receipted bills have
been lost or destroyed. No retailers in the
Lehigh field have yet announced that they
will make restitution.
Making due allowance for coal used at
the mines. on which no tax was reckoned
the amounts collected by the large produc-
ers are approximately as follows in the
% months during which the Roney law
was operative.
