INCREASE IN PRICE
OF COAL HERE TODAY

An increase in the price of coal
in this city of s1.25 has taken place
1t was learned today. This makes coal
here $3.50 per ton instead of $11.25
as formerly. The advance in the price
of coal has been caused by increased
freight rates, the increased cost of
labor, and other costs connected with
maintenance of a delivery system.
Advance in the price of coal has
only been made in this city but in
every city and town in Middlesex and
Monmouth counties as well as other
counties in the state. In many in
stances the price of Goa has advanced
considerably more in other cities thar
in Perth Amboy. n in many of the
communities of Monmouth and Mid
dlesex counties the public is paying as
high as SIS, and more per ton.

mittee, according toe W. F. Con-
nell. member, will submit a
proposition to the Constitutional
Convention to trade the income
of the severance tax to the state
for one mill state wide tax for
maintenance Of the Greater Agri-
cultural College. The one mill
tax is to take effect after the ex-
piration of Governor Parker s
term in office.
The reason given for the pro-
posed trade is that the college
wants an assured income. 1t is
possible that the severance tax
will die sooner or later. The
reason for having the new tax to
take effect at the end of Cover
nor Parker term is that at pres
ent the college needs large rev.
enue for construction Of new
buildings. Then the one-mill
maintenance tax will be sufficient
and the income will be assured. y
Should the severance tax pro-
duce the same revenue hereafter
it will be possible to reduce the
state taxation and the college, will
not suffer with it's decreased in
come. The income now from the
severance tax is estimated at &c.
100000 and the income from the
one-miH tax will be approx
imately $1,750,O00, which will be
ample for the maintenance of the
college after the improvements
are made during the coming four
years, the communitt thinks.
