SQUEEZING LITTLE FELLOWS
Big Papers Gobble Up Supply of
Newsprint Paper.

A current report of the government
forest service says that the larger
newspaper publishers of the country
have been able to keep down the ad-
vance in cost of their newsprint to
about 200 per cent because of their
ability to contract in large volume.
But the market price, according to
the bulletin, has advanced 500 per
cent since 1915. 1t is at this price
that the small publisher is compelled
to buy his paper stock.
Primarily the reason for the ad-
vance in paper is due to a wood short
age. In earlier days the paper mills
were built in the lumber regions and
their pulp wood was a sort of by-pro-
duct of the saw milling industry.
But in most of these regions the saw
mills have finished, and they have
packed up. burned out, or moved
away for some other reason. But
the paper mill cannot play the part of
carpet bagger" quite so easily, and
as a result the northeastern part of
ly dependent upon Canadian wood.
Spruce from Minnesota and Canada,
for example, is being hauled from
700 to 1900 miles to Wisconsin paper
mills. In New York state, where
nearly so per cent of our rewsprint
is produced, 60 per cent of the pulp
and paper mills have absolutely no
timber supplies of their own. New
Hampshire and Maine appear to be
the only eastern states that still have
raw materials for making paper, and |
there is a well-grounded suspicion in
the paper trade that the day of prof
teering in spruce, hemlock, balsam
and poplar is pretty well under way
The big papers, in any event, are
certainly eating up the little ones,

ELECTION BOARD APPOINTED
Council Will Meet Monday to Pass on
Candidates Petitions.

The regular monthly meeting of
the Town Council was held Tuesday
night, but little business outside the
regular routine was transacted.
Health officer Blount presented his
report, in which he recommended
that the public school be closed until
defects in the sanitary arrangements
of the school could be remedied, and
described conditions at the school as
anything but wholesome. Reading
of his report was the starting point
for rather hearted discussion of
conditions at the school, several citi-
zens who were present taking part.
1t seems that the conditions to which
DR.. Blount referred have been giving
the local school trustees considerable
concern as their efforts to remedy
them have resulted in failure. The
trustees, just a few days ago, paid
out considerable sum of money in
an effort to relieve the matter, and,
defects had been remedied, were un-
der the impression that the matter
had been disposed of until the report
of DR.. Blount was filed. Tuesday
night DR.. Blount insisted that the
school remain closed until the con-
ditions complained of could be rem
edied, but 1t is understood that
compromise was reached, when tenn
porary arrangements were proposed
and agreed upon.
The council appointed as an cleo
tion board to hold the town cleo
tion on November 23rd the following
men:
J. J. Mccain, clerk; Chas. A. Nc

EXCHANGE WINS RATE FIGHT
For Fruit and Vegetable Shippers
Lower Icing Charges

Some relief for Florida fruit and
vegetable shippers in the matter OF
icing charges is promised, according
to information which has just reach.
ed E. d. Dow, Traffic Manager of the
Exchange.
Mr.. Dow is in receipt of copy of
report made to the Interstate Com
merce Commission by H. G. Wagner.
Examiner for the Commission. who
conducted the hearing held in Tampa
last spring, when the reasonableness
OF existing charges for refrigeration
was attacked by the Florida Citrus
Exchange and other Florida shippers.
In reviewing the evidence submitted
at the hearing in Tampa, Examiner
wagner recommends to the Inter
state Commerce Commission that a
reduction of 20 per cent be made in
the cost of ice as a factor in these
refrigeration charges.
Mr.. Dow figures that this would
operate to, reduce the present rate
of $3.50 for full tank refrigeration
to New York to $67.5O. To Boston
and Chicago the present rate of SS5
to be reduced to $73.75 on full tank
icing. The rate to New York thus
would come down to about s2.6O.
more than the old rate for this serv-
ice, and about S2.7O more than the
old rate to Boston and Chicago.
The charge for half tank refrigera-
tlon, If this reduction be granted.
would be reduced to about $500 in
excess of the old charge to the vari
ous markets.
The Examiners findings still re-
main to be approved and acted up-
IN by the Interstate Commerce Com |
mission but shippers are hopeful they
VIII be accepted. If they are ac-
'epted and reduction ordered on bas-
s OF the examiners report, this will
constitute a very substantial victory
or Florida shippers. 1t will be of
PARTICULAR advantage to vegetable
hippers as under the old rates refrig-
ration was charged on a per pack
ge basis while now the per car
barge includes any quantity in the
Dad.
