That the people of Vermont will
have coal enough TO keep warm the
coming winter was the cheering news
that came out of conference held in
Burlington last week. 1t appeared
] that about the normal amount of coal
had been shipped into the state since
the first of April, and that the operat-
ors and transportation companies
fully expect to supply the state with
/ its quota. As a result of the con-
ference. Governor Clement, who called
the men together, expressed himself
as being well pleased with the situa-
ton and believes that Vermonters will
suffer no hardships because of lack
of fuel.
! The Emporium Lumber Co., of

Stratton, but there are several lots in
that portion of the town of Sunder-
land, lying east of the mountain
range and there are also two lots in
the town of Winhall. There was
| cash consideration and also a transfer
of $4,000 acres of hardwood timber
/ land from the Champlain Realty Co.,

L. T. Kinsley, who has been lookout
on Belvidere mountain this summer,
has completed his duties and report
ed to the state forester's office Thurs
day. He had constructed a lookout
tower on the top of the mountain this
summer which is about II feet square
at the top and suitably constructed
to withstand weather conditions.
While this mountain is not as high as
many in the state, it has probably as
wide a range of view as most OF the
mountains in Vermont and more
range of view than some of the high
er ones. 1t is very fitting for fire
prevention work, there being no other
mountains nearby to hide the view.
Last year he built a cabin. This year
he had tent which visitors occupied
and some so remained over night,
\ while about 500 have visited the
mountain during the season.
