Property and Personal Fax Collectors Have Many Debtors in Scryicc.

Have Many Debtors in Service.
 Due to the fact that a number of those to whom bills have been sent to by Tax Collector Bernadotte Loom is for property taxes due the city, are now in the United States service and at some unknown station, the local tax collector is experiencing consider able difficulty in straightening his ac- counts. By the time the bill sent out is returned informing the collector Of the fact that the addresSee has en- tered the service, the addresseo may have changed camps several times. In the case of persons native born the bills are frequently paid by their friends, while the foreign born popu- lation, 10 q great extent, do not feel disposed to take the chance of being repaid when the war is over.
 Bills sent out by Tax Collector EI- liott are also being treated in the same manner and in many instances it has been necessary to go through the files of the war bureau several times to find the address Of the one to whom the bill is to be sent. In the case of those who cannot be found the bill will be charged to them on the books of the collector and they will be liable for the amount upon their return to New Britain at the cessation Of the war.

American Flags, Liberty Loan Elm blem and Four Service Banners KensingtOn.

Work on the new road which is to extend from the main road near South Main street to the government factory near the Berlin town line was begun yesterday. The factory is sev- eral hundred wards from any good road, and for this reason the con- struction of a road to be used eX- clustvely by the factory was thought advisable. Due to the fact that the factory is separated from the state road by the railroad tracks, about fifteen feet above the level of the ground at this point, it will be nec- essary to tunnel the embankment upon which the tracks are laid, The new driveway will be started near the pond at Towers corner The steam shovel brought to this place yester- day has already accomplished a good deal toward bringing the road to the site of the factory.
 It is expected that the road will be finished some time before the comple- ton of the factory as it will be nec- esSary to have some such road to haul the machinery to the finished plant

 service flag. The service flag. all though incomplete, contains 11S stars and ? gold stars representing Ben jamin KasiCa who fell at Seicheprey and Harry James Smith who died in the service of the American Red Cross.
 Arrangements have been made to have these three flags hoisted regular ly every morning. Some comment has been heard this morning regard ing the placing Of the flags. It is the opinion of many that the service flag should be flown under the American flag instead Of under the Liberty Loan flag, as the present way seems to imply more regard for dollars in the service than for the sons in the service.

Whether through stint or provi-
dence, this section Of the country has
not suffered this year as result Of
an acute coal shortage. Coal has
been plentiful. Coal cars have been
scarce, and wherever shortage has
threatened or really existed it was
more on account Of the railroads not
having facilities to move the coal
than because of mine production.
At no time in the history of the
United States has as much coal been
mined or as many new developments
taken place. Should the railroad adj
ministration consider the applications
for facilities TO new mines in this
country there would be such pro-
duction that the United States could
easily weather another war without
much anxiety over the fuel situation.
Dozens of mines, good ones, too,
have been opened in this immediate
section. Although rail facilities are
not forth coming, the city is being
reached by trucks, and if the fuel ad-
ministration allowed manufacturers
to use their normal supplies, these
small mines could find a market for
their diggings and almost supply the
city. On the other hand, new mines
are not encouraged by the govern
ment, and the city is obliged to pass
up natural resources and depend up
on transportation from centers hun
dreds Of miles away.
