ing the expectation In the maximum

! According to President Williams of
tho Delaware and Hudson railroad re-
cal survey have indicated greatly In
creased production of both bituminous
| and anthracite coal during the Arst
six months of this year.
Before the embargo on the export OF
coal was placed. on the 25th of June:
export coal was selling at unheard of
prices in New York. Manufacturers
OF lime. cement and other building
materials, who formerly purchased
coal at the mines at IS cents and who
still hold contracts for the delivery OF
coal at $3.50. have been unable to Sc
cure coal for lime burning. etc. un-
der $40 to s11 per ton.
May Hold Hearings in New York.
The fact that the all-rail freight
rate for coal to New England is some
So less per ton than the rail to sea-
board and water rate. is undou BIT edl y
tending to force New England coal
shipments over the railways. 1t is
said that New England requires "a
100000 tons annually and that it is
beyond the capacity of the railroads
in normal times to carry more than
12,000.00o. The high water rates. as
well as the limited coastwise shipping
facilities. is, therefore, an indirect
cause of the present rail embargoes on
building materials.
1t is understood that the Senate COM
mittee on reconstruction, which is
now completing it's preliminary or
SANITATION. will commence to hold
hearings in New York city during the
early part of July and will later hold
hearings in the principal cities
throughout the country, co-ordinating
as far a S possible the information OBJ
tanned by the local authorities in the
various sections who for the past six
months or more have been actively
engaged in studying the housing
shortage.

Therefore this Association made
full inquiry into these statements and
allegations.
And the findings of the investigat-
ing committee were so sensational and
startling, even 10 some of the mem
beers of the Associat ION. that the Asso-
cation deems il advisable that the
general public be informed Of the re-
suits of the investigation and the facts
which were brought 10 light"
The average teacher is paid a salary
Of 5000 per year. the maximum being
$500. On $50 a month, no woman CT
refinement can live in this day of high
cost OF living. This means a little
over So week and the cheapest
board is SO, leaving two dollars for
clothes and necessaries. Teachers
hereabouts are said to be in debt. and
cannot keep out Of debt on their
salaries, no matter how eheaply they
live The result IS many teachers
have been compelled TO resign and TO
seek positions elsewhere on a livsble
salary.
This means the schools here are be-
ing deprived OF some of the best teach
ing force. and the question of the flu
ture educators OF the Annapolis chill
dTen is grave one.
The teachers have asked the school
board TO meet them this week to dis
cuss the matter of salaries. 1t would
seem that the general opinion is that
the board is not cognizant OF certain
conditions extanj, due to the reticence
of the teachers.
The Teachers Association is pre-
pairing TO put before the public the
findings of the investigation, hoping
