railroad administration will owe the railroads apprixomately $35S,000,000 for the government control period. The government owes the short lines about $25,000,000, making total for the gov ernment control period of $3S3,000, ,000.
 It is further estimated that the gov ernment owes the railroads a total of approximately $632, 100000 for the guaranty period. Of that amount $403, 100000 has been paid in advances, leaving a balance due of about $229,- 000,000
 The governments indebtedness to the railroads, therefore, which is not disputed, is approximately $600,0O0,- GOO.
 Secretary Mellon had that estimate In mind, it is believed, when he said approximately $500,00O00O would be paid to the railroads in the next six months, provided the funding provi- sions go through and the railroads agree to settle with the administration.

crease the rate of interest from 2 to 3 per cent, to pay interest on deposits held less than one year, to remove the restrictions against depostors under ten years of age and to give greater facilities for this class of business by establishing savings branches in 50000 postoffices instead of the present 6,314.
 Mr. Hays has no design to put the postal savings system in competition with private savings banks. He recog- nizes that that would be an unfair as well as disastrous policy. As a mat ter of fact the growth of postal say ings will inure to the benefit of pri- yate banks, for the money will be re deposited with them by the govern ment. Bankers already consulted are in favor of the project now proposed.

County Unit Law Changes.

Three changes in the county unit
road law are proposed in senate bill
No. H., introduced in the senate by
Senator Howard A. Cam of Frank
fort. The changes are not expected
to meet the approval of road cOntrac-
tors, but are intended to benefit tax
payers, Senator Cam said. Under the
law the entire county pays for road
built under the county unit plan. Sen
ator Cams bill provides that the en-
tire county shall pay only 90 per cent
the township in which the road is sit
uated, % per cent and abutting land
owners for a mile on either side of
the road the remaining % per cent.
Fifty persons may petition for a coun-
ty unit road under the present law.
The bill proposes to make 200 the min
imum number of petitioners, of whom
half must live in the township in
which the road 10 be improved is sit
uated and 10 per cent of whom must
live in other townships in the county.
The third change would require the
road inspector and engineer to give
bond TO protect the county against
the result OF improper engineering or
inspection.

Increase in Coal Mined in State.

More bituminOus coal was produced
in Indiana in fewer working days dur
ing the year ended September 30, 1920,
than during the preceding year, Garry

ports. The total amount mined was

states, does not include approximately
100000 tons taken from the small
mines of the state, as compared with
1929 tons produced by the small
mines in the preceding year. The in
creased production from the small
mines was due TO the higher price of
coal in 1920, which made the small
mines more profitable. \ total of 221
major mines and 81 small mines were
operated in 1920, 13 new major mines
having been opened and seven aban-
doned as having been worked out. The
