CANADA R. R. BOARD HERE
TO SECURE COAL SUPPLY
Freight Rates Also Taken Up With
Interstate Commerce
Commission.

Movement of a winter stock of
American coal to central Canada was
considered here yesterday by mem
bers of the Canadian railway board
and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. No decision was reached at
the conference, which will be resumed
tomorrow. Discussion was understood
to have conferred about plans to pre-
vent transportation delays and the
advisability of giving priority in
movement to coal shipments.
Prepayment of freight charges on
American goods shipped into Canada
also was discussed. Because of the
adverse exchange rate the Canadians
oppose payments in American money
at the Canadian end of the haul as is
necessary on through rates. Efforts
probably will be made to divide the
through rate 50 that the money will
be accepted in each country for the
portion of the haul made there.

CONCRETE ROAD LAID
BEYOND TUB MILL

The contractor completed the pour
ing of concrete to and beyond the Tub
Mill, two miles north of Milford, on
the d6 Pont highway, on Thursday
last, December 2nd. The work went
forward the balance of the week and
it is now building across the cause
way. 1t is the purpose of the con-
tractor to continue the work as long
as the weather will permit, if that is
up to Christmas; but freezing tenn
peratures will put a stop to all road
work until spring. 1t is very accep-
table to the people of Milford Neck to
have the concrete roadbed finished be-
fore winter closes in. The road bed
just finished, will be open for public
use about the 25. or at Christmas. The
road from the Tub Mill to Frederick,
should have cinders placed in sever
al places where it is very soft and
quagmire during wet weather or just
after thaws. There are three or four
such places, and the county should
see that they are made possible dur
ing the winter months and until the
du Pont Boulevard is completed,
which will not be until late in the
season of 1921.
