The following letter from a large producer of domestic coal gives an idea of the coal situation. ELK RIVER CJAL & LUMBER CO. WIDJEN, W. VA. = Fel:ruary 24, 1934

C. F. Green . Ligonier Artificial Ice Co., . Ligonier, Indiana Dear Mr. Green : . I have your letter ¢ February 22 and was glad to hear from you. For the past six mcaths it has taken every effort to take care of the business with which we | ave been favored by our old and regular friends and new custom 'rs we have been forced to turn dewn with regret. Tomorrow is Sunday and over half of our emploees have agreed to work to help us catch up with the shipments we are back on for the month. , Will try to get you two extra cars the first of the week. When you were down here I believe I mentioned that - some day we would mine the mountain across Buffalo Creek from the tipple and now we have eight ojenings on that side and are waiting ; for the Link-Belt to convey the coal to the tipple. An old gentleman who has worked on every opening we have made on Buffalo Creek told me yesterday that this was the best coal he had seen and hope to be able to furnish some of this before many weeks. With kindest regards, I remain . & Sincerely yours, : . J. V. HINSHELWOOD T o ~ General Superintendant

DEPOSITS IN BANKS TAX PA)D

Local Bank Gets Imformation Concerning Deviseq Tax Yaws of ' ; State

Approximately $400,000,000 in deposits in Indiana banks and trust com panies will not constitute a tax worry tc the depositors this year as has been true formerly, becuuse the hanking institutions of the state have elected to pay the new Indiana bank deposit taxes under the rocontly revised tax laws. Emphasizing the fact that deposits in Indiana banks are tax paid under the new Indiana intan< gibles tax laws and that money in safe deposit boxes or otherwise sequestered is taxable at the general property tax rate prevailng in each community of the state, the department of financial institutions has just forwarded a communication to the Amepican State bank here ‘urging that all bank depositors he instructed in the tax-paid position which they hold this year. The letter from the state department of financial institutions points out that “it is our belief that there ir no general understanding of the status of the intangibles tax law at this time,” and that “many taxpayers of. the state do not realize that money deposited in a bank is tax frea to the depositors while money is safety deposit boxes is taxable.” The letter carries an enclosure to all banks and trust companies in the state from the state board of tax commissioners written by Philip Zoercher, chairman in which is set out the state tax board’s position wiih respect to the present tax paid basis of -money .on deposit. The lecter to the depariment of finanecial institutiong from Mr. Zoercher points out that all representatives of the stfate boarq of tax commissioners have been iustructed to give wide circulation to the proper facts relative to the tax ing of money in Indiana under the new laws. 5 “Money on hand or in safetv boxes iy subject to the general property tax payable by the property owner,” Mr. Zoercher’s letter says. “The tax on all money on deposit in bank3s poth state and national, is paid by the banks unless they elect otherwise and we have not heard of any bank in the state of Indiana that is nor willing to pay the tax on all taxahle deposits. Banks having elected to pay the ‘ax relieve the depositor from paying any tax on his deposits in the bank. Money in postal savings deposits excepting postal savings honrds, is subject to the intangible tax ana must be paid by the tax payer.”
