COAL ENOUGH

Stocks on Hand and Enroute

INDUSTRIES ALL SUPPLIED
Bennington Not Likely to Experience
Hardship or Inconvenience
Through Fuel Shortage.
INDUSTRIES ALL SUPPLIED

There is little danger Of coal
shortage in Bennington during the re-
mainder of the present winter. Tho
present situation has some annoying
features, owing TO the restrictions
imposed by the fuel administration.
but 1t will be possible to buy coal in
Bennington during the remainder OF
the cold season. That is an assured
fact. There is no possibility Of a re-
occurrence Of conditions such as pre-
vailed year ago when the communi.
ty was faced with the prospect OF ac-
tual hardship and partial closing of
industries because OF fuel shortage.
One of the local dealers has in the
yard in the vicinity of 1900 tons of
coal. The sizes are not assorted as
the company would like TO. have them
but II is coal and almost enough to
supply its trade until the coming OF
warm weather. Another dealer Is
not so well supplied but has coal on
the road and feels satisfied that he
will be in position to care for his
customers.
Locally the restrictions of the, fuel
administration are imposing some
thing OF hardship on the dealers.
With coal on hand they desire to
make deliveries on the last third OF
the orders placed early in the year.
This they are not permitted TO do.
They must continue TO pay their en-
ployes who can not be Kept busily en-.
crun ad nd cto nj - IL
of revenue. The dealers must pay
cash for their coal and cash on their
freight bills but they can not daliyer
and thereby secure funds with which
to meet their bills.
The local chairman of the fuel com
mittee understands that in some
states the administrator has granted
permission for the delivery of the last
third of the orders. Along toward the
last, just as in the case OF the sugar
restrictions, Vermont may secure
release
However irksome the conditions
may be, the situation has none OF the
elements Of real privation so far as
the consumer is concerned. Persons
in actual need Of coal may secure
enough at any time for immediate
wants. The different industries In
the village, too, have large stocks OF
soft coal on hand and no wheels will
cease TO go round because steam can't
be kept up. When one recalls the
conditions of a year ago he realizes
that Bennington has reason to be
thankful and compared with many
other communities Bennington was
not hard hit during the winter of 1911

the case
Up TO December | Town Clerk Il. A.

cept for foxes and rabbits has closed
and only few more hunting licenses
will be granted Should the weather
become favorable a few more licenses
may be issued TO fishermen to catch
pickerel through the ice. There will
probably be enough of them taken out
to make up the small difference in the
totals OF the two years.

cause Of exemption privileges extend
ed to certain established classes of in
tangibles, Comptroller Travis pointed
out tonight This situation, accord
ing to the comptroller, is due largely
TO special tax laws, such as the bank
tax law which removed from general
taxation more than S500,000.000: the
mortgage recording tax law, $780,
100000; the secured debt tax law,
81, ,000, 100000, and other laws OF
smaller amounts.
This situation" explained the
comptroller, means that the taxpayer
owning a home assessed at $4,000.
pays $45 In general taxes at a rate OF
Sa2.50 per $1,000. But for the above
exemptions, he would have paid only
S26, or taxes at rate of S13 per
thousand Moreover. it shows that
the general property tax is a failure
because 1t does not distribute the tax
tdrden equitably. Fifty years ago 25
