NO SERIOUS COAL
SHORTAGE HERE
Enough Soft Coal on Hand
to Meet All Reasonable
Demands
GOOD SUPPLY OF
ANTHRACITE ALSO
No Need for Suffering if Persons Do
Not Resort to Hoarding Buyers
with Small Storage Capacity Entitled
to Consideration.

Although q serious coal shortage is
being felt in many parts of the country
by industrial plants, as well as some
domestic users, the effect of the short
age has not been felt in Brattleboro
and is not likely to be to any great
extent.
While no bituminous, or soft, coal has
been received for several weeks deal
inconvenience to manufacturers or 9th
er users of the product inasmueh as all
of the larger consumers put in during
the summer a sufficient supply to last
through the winter, or for year, as
the case may have been, and as to the
smaller buyers the local dealers feel
confident that they have enough in the
sheds to supply the demand, especially
If economy is praetieed.
In an interview by Reformer rep
resentative one of the dealers stated
that the anthracite coal situation here
also was not such as to cause any
alarm. 1t was said that about double
the amount of coal was delivered in the
past month that was delivered in No
vember last year, and about so per cent
more in October than in the cor
responding month last year. This was
due, in part, it was thought, to the feal
that there was to be shortage. MANY
persons have ordered who already hat
coal enough to last them well into th,
winter or until spring, but no order hai
been refused. The dealer also said tha
he believed there would be no reason 70
suffering here if those who already hav,
a full supply will leave the balance il
the dealers sheds for those who hay'
no adequate storage place for NOR
than a load or perhaps a ton at any on
time Such action would help to dis
tribute the Brattleboro supply NOR
evenly and avoid the necessity of need
less suffering by some while others hav
more heat than they reasonably eal
use.
i Another suggestion for a more evel
distribution of the various sizes wa
made. 1t would be help if those VIII
: could use egg coal would buy that siz
or mix egg and stove coal. Still an
other practical combination is the mix
ture of pea and chestnut sizes Som
Ealready are buying pea coal for fun

More Industries Closed.

CHICAGO, Dee, 6,--Drastic curtail-
ment of passenger train service
throughout the country today had been
ordered as a fuel conservation meas
urc AS the strike of miners entered
its sixth week optimism which some
operators were said to feel was not re-
hected in actual developments reported
from the coal field Additional indus
tries today were closed or had given
notice that operations would be suspend
cd after today while the coal saving
orders that already had put Chicago
on q six and on-half hour business day
were extended to other places. At Chi

was decrced and it was predicted by
members of the coal committee that a
few days continuance of the coal strike
would force 4. four hour day.
Only in isolated instances and in

be Iesuming production.

FURTHER SURVEY
IN DUMMERSTON
Engineers Here to Extend Survey for
Federal Project-Marlboro Work
Progressing Well

Representatives of the state engineers
office have come to extend the survey
of the proposed federal highway in Dunn
merston. The former survey stopped
about mile and a half south OF the
Dummerston- Putney line, and it has been
decided to survey the remaining mile and
a half.
Engineer j. E. Helyar. who is survey
ing the so-called swamp road in Dunn
merston, beginning north of the Crosby
pond and extending north to the cement
bridge at the 'shairpin turn" expects to
complete today that survey, which some
feel should be made part of the federal
road.
Work on the Marlboro federal project
is progressing well, but the numerous
rains have delayed it somewhat in addi-
tion to causing ruts which it has been
necessary to smooth up. The work viii
be carried this fall to a point where
good road will be assured for travel next
spring, but it is not expected that the
finishing touches viii be made until set
tied travelling next season.

supposed to be a dream of a freshman
boy, representing, what he imagined
first day at school would be. The play
was written by Helen Miller Of the SEN
Tor class, with the last part by Arthur
Barrett, also a senior. The program in
eluded many good songs and clever
parodies and there were an abundance
of hits on the freshmen, faculty and

Names of Brattleboro Indi-
viduals but Not Cor
pOratiOns
POSTED BY INTERNAL
REVENUE SERVICE
Desired to Know Whether Any Who
Should Have Paid Tax Have Failed
to Do So - Lists for This Year TO Be
Made Out Later.

There has just been received at the
Brattleboro postoffice, from the internal
revenue service of the treasury depart
ment, list of the individuals who filed
income tax returns for the year which
ended Dec 81. 1918, in the Vermont col
lection district and whose postoffice ad
dress was Brattleboro. This list is now
posted in the postoffice corridor
This list does not include corporations,
so that many persons doing business
under corporate names are not listed in
the list Of individuals Persons whose
net incomes, from all sources, whether
salaries or not, exceeded 81 900, if such
persons were not married or did not live
with their wives or husbands were sup
posed to pay an income tax, and persons
whose net incomes exceeded $1,000, if
such persons were married and lived with
their wives or husbands also were sup.
posed to pay tax.
The purpose in posting the list is to
have the public examine it to see wheth-
er any who should have paid an income
tax did not do so. Income tax lists will
be made out later for the present year,
and it is the desire of the government to
have all persons pay their just proper
tion of the governments burdens.
Following is the list as furnished by
the internal revenue service.

FURTHER NEED FOR
EARLY MAILING
Reduction of Train Service by Reason
of Coal Strike Has Message for
Christmas Shippers.

The attention of the public is called
again to the steadily increasing neces-
sity of mailing all Christmas packages
early.
The coal strike has caused reduction
of train service on some railroads, and
further curtailment doubtless will be
necessary as the strike continues.
This condition makes the early mail.
ing of Christmas parcels this year more
than usually important.
