pallties in the state to pass ordinances
exempting new dwellings or apartme Mt

efforts are being made by realty in

The Governor said he believes the
rent laws should be extended and that
arrangements should be made which
would have the laws become inopera
t've when the Legislature is in session
so that they may be re-cnacted. if oc-
caslon demands, without the calling OF
an extraordinary session. The rent
laws, unless rc-cnacted. would expire
on November |. 1922 Governor Miller
believes they should be effective until
the early part Of 1924.
The proposal that the statute which
permits the exemption Of new building
construction from local taxes be cx-
tended to include building operations
started between April /, 1929, and April
J: 1928, is acceptable TO Governor
Miller.
The law" he said. now gives local-
tles the authority to exempt for ten
years from taxation new dwcllinps
which are begun before April of thi,
year. The proposal is to extend the
fIGht OF exemption TO buildings begun
IN the next year. but to make that ex-
empt'on for nine years instead Of ten
years. as given to buildings begun prior
70 April |. In this way all the .x-

Coal Industry Demands
Reduced Freight Rates
/. C.. C.. Hears Product Costs
$2.11. Ton at Mine and
TRANSPORTATION to User $2.74

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1e-Claims OF
the coal industry for decreased rail
road rates were presented to the In
terstate Commerce Commission to-day
in the investigation which it is max
ing into the general level of trans
portation rates. J. D. A. Morrow, vice
president Of the National Coal Asso-
citation and representative Of the larg,
est group of coal mine operators, said
his Organization would not attempt to
say what railroad earnings would stand
in the way Of freight reductions, but
asserted that if any were granted, they
should be accorded to coal first, and
to the largest degree.
Mr.. Morrow estimated that freights
on coal had increased as much as zoe
Der cent since 1914, and that the pres
cnt average cost Of transporting ton
from the mines to the consumer was
$2.74, while the price of the product
itself at the mine was $2.14.
George H. Cushing, for the Amerlcan
Wholesale Coal Association. declared
that railroad earnings would be SUI
6cient to allow sharp reductions in the
rates on coal with the resumption OF
normal traffic.

There arc also the prospective plans

pctuatc its existence, and at the same
time protect the city's water supply
for generations to come, the Board Of
Water Supply recently announced an
expedition for exploring the state in
search Of adequate future water sheds.
This is one of the boards which Mayor
Hylan proposed during his first cam
paign to abolish. The Mayor changed
his mind. 1t is very large depart
ment, with many patronge plums and
millions in contracts, which the poll
ticians, naturally, would want the
Mayor to cling to. The annual payroll
Of the board amounts to several hum

The Board of Water Supply also

gineer in charge at salary Of $500

A former aqueduct commissioner

New York has water enough for
many years. The supply now is SO
large that millions Of gallons run to

Special Delivery Letters

How many special delivery letters
did you get last year?
According to figures compiled at the
Post Office Department, every man in
the United States sent one special de-
livery letter and every other man re-
ceived reply, or, in the event it is the
ladies who are the biggest users OF
the delivery stamp, every woman sent
one letter and every other woman re-
ceived one in reply.
The general belief that these rush
letters are associated with summer
time, or love-time, was given rude
shock when the figures disclosed that
more specials are sent in the last quar-
ter of the year, indicating probably
that the average citizen ignores the
injunction TO mail early and then pays
ten cents to get his Christmas package
rushed.
Reports from Southern cities de-
clare that the negro is the most eN-
tensive user of the oblong stamp, some
of them putting one on each letter they
send, whether to carry the suggestion
Of Importance to the addressee or rea-c
ly with the idea of securing speed Oh
curse, cannot be determined without
the aid Of a psychologist.
The number Of special deliveries
sold during the last year reached ~

Of the stamps were 81 1925, aver

The Average Boy.

We sat in a little company Of
men the other evening when the
average boy was the topic
We don't know whether the
boys of this community average
above or below those of other
communities. but we do know
that the average boy gets about
as much attention as a glass OF
milk at a brewers picnic,
None of US are impressed with
the fact that the averaged boy in
approaching manhood. If he
lives there's nothing to stop him
from growing into his maturity.
Whether he reaches his stature
with capability that will enable
him to assume the responsibility
Of citizenship, or whether he just
drifts in aimlessly, is the big
factor in our community.
The boy has four critical per-
i0ds that he must pass through
before he stands up and exhibits
the stuff that's in him.
Some one has divided MS life
into four, seven year periods
That brings the full manhood to
twenty.eight years. You can't
make a man out of a boy and
stop off at twenty-one, no more
than you can make a seasoned
draft horse at three. year. old
From one to seven years any
boy is pretty goou. He is the
constant companion of his mother
IN this first period and her in
huencd is akin to the divine.
