have handled ice for the past 10 years
in connection with their wood and

and attention hereafter solely to
handling fuel. They have just finished
harvesting a large crop, though ow-
ing to weather conditions it cost
them more . cut it than in any previ-

the river, was about two feet thick,
though Il half mile below on the Pas

LOCAL COAL
SITUATION
MOST SERIOUS
Business Blocks and House
holders Almost Out of All
Kinds of Coal

The coal situation in st. Johnsburv
today is regarded by the dealers rs
the most serious in the history Of the
town and what little coal the dealers
have is all sold out The situation ir,
the soft coal market is worse thar
anthracite and all the dealers as well
as some of our factories have had
their coal in transit taken by the rail-
roads. This was done before the
cars reached the Boston e. Maine iron
and it is only fair to this railroad to
states that so far as is known they
have not taken any coal intended for
st. JohnHbuly but have in at least
one instance given u carload to Il s..
JohSbury corporation that the bus;-
ness might not be interrupted.
Tn three dealers each received
carloads of anthracite coal the past
week and have sold this out in 500
and 1000 pound lots. most of Til
was pea coal or egg, two varieties not
usually used in furnaces or ranges,
but most acceptable to any whose
bins were empty. One dealer has sold
200 tons of pea coal this winter and
also had quite lot of buckwheat
which has served a very useful pur-
pose in mixing with other grades.
Every dealer has coal in transit
which will relieve the situation when
il arrives.
Several of our largest business
blocks are now burning wood, as
well as many householders, and 9TH
ers have only enough soft coal to last
through the day. The dealers, rail
road officials and Commercial Club
are doing everything possible TO get
coal into st. Johnsbuly, but with
weather conditions so sever end the
embargo on the Boston G. Maine the
situation is still critical.

Night

At an enthusiastic special liage
meeting in the ST. Jolnsbuly Tow
Hall Friday night il WIS unanimous

tory Of Taubcr. Upton & Co., from
taxation for Il period OF 10 years.
Charles W. Steele presided as the
village president and the call was
read by the village clerk, Preston f.
May.
The following resolution was intro
duced by Arthur F. Stone: Resolved,
That the village Of St. Iohnsbury eX-
cmpt for Il period Of ten years from
the first day OF April. 1920, so much
Of the real estate, machinery and
property of Taubel, Upton ( Co.,
rs shall be used in and about the
making of shirts, provided said Tau
ber, Upton G. Co., come to st. Johns
bury and ncGui!r. equip, maintain ari
operate Il shirt factory within th'
village of st. .Johnsbury at some time
during the year 1870.
This resolution was seconded by
Edward G. Asaelin and supported by
Mr. Stone, Mr.. Assclin, Dr.. c. A.
Cramton and L. N. Smythe 1t was
then unanimously adopted.
Mr.. Stone spoke of tho extensive
plant Of Tauber, Upton e. Co., stating
they had 90 factories in New York
state, Pennsylvania AMI New Eng
land. Ic said Il. II. Neil, the man
ager of several of the Vermont plants
had come W. from Barre twice and
had decided to take one OF the vacant
Hooker buildings and start shirt
factory early in March,
President ASsclin Of the CONNER
cal Club told the voters present what
the Taubcr, Upton e. Co., hld done
in Rutland and how they were COM
ing to smaller communities because
Of better labor conditions.
DR.. Cramton spoke OF the advant-
ages Of now industries in st. Johns
bury and said he was heartily il "a
vor of the passage of the resolution.
Mr. Smythc said that the Tauber,
Upton & Co., had leased the build'".g
of the Hooker corporation and ii,
passage Of the resolution would not
exempt the building FROM taxation.
He said that Mr.. Neil was a most ea
timablc gentleman and he was glad
to welcome such men to St. Johns
bury. He said Mr.. Neil hoped to
start the factory with LOG hands, hn
there Was no limit to the number that
could be employed at the St. johns
bury factory, as the product of the
90 factories until October OF the
present year was already all sold. Mr..
Smythc then outlined some of the diff
ficulties with labor in the large cities,
after which the meeting adjourned.
