ABOUT S15,0OO FOR MASONS
Former Probate Judge Owned Some Valuable StOck-Propcrty to Be Sold-Program for Veterans Day Coal at $9 a TOn-Briefs.


 Relatives and friends of Frank S. Neal, who were mentioned in his will are to share in the distribution of approximately $62,OOO if the receipts from the sale of his property con- form to the valuation placed. on his estate by M. o. Ryder and C. Russell Sherman, a report of whose appraisal has been filed with the probate court. The inventory substantiates the pre- dictions made by close friends of the former probate judge a short time after his death and proves the falsity of the claims that his wealth would go into six figures.
 The appraisers placed a value of S61,45933 on the entire estate. If the results of the sale of the property, which the testator ordered in his will show a favorable comparison with the inventory, the Masonic Charities foundation, which is to re- ceive what remains after all other beuuests are deducted from the total will have the use of over $15,0OO. This amount may be increased some what by real estate sales as some of the property may bring more than the inventory would indicate.
 The estate is to be settled by the Plainville Trust company, named as executors in the will, disappointed relatives who some time ago indicated that they would test the validity of the document in the courts, having dccftled to withdraw all objections.
 The appraisal as filed with Judge Byington Is as follows: Five $500 Plainville Water

 Coal at $9 Ton
 According to local coal dealers the price of anthracite to the consumers will probably reach $9 a ton before mid winter. Their estimates ere based on present conditions at the mines and the freight congestion and they believe that the minimum price at which the black diamonds can be purchased when the coal weather ar rives will not be less than SS.75.
 The freight embargo caused loss to local dealers inasmuch as coal or dered in March could not be delivered in April as they had expected. As a result they have to pay the market price at the time of the delivery, rather than the date of their order. Coal keeps advancing steadily in price after spring and each months delay in the filling of the dealers orders means loss to them.
