To Tax B. & L. Stock.
Specal to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept- 26.—It has
been calculated by the Arkansas
Tax Commission that there is a
total of $959,824 of unpledged
investment building and loan
stock held by citizens of Pulaski
county in the thirty-two asso
ciations doing business here. It
is estimated that this represents
about three-fourths of the total
amount of such stock carried in
the whole state.
Under the terms of the new
law, the Secretary of each build
ing and loan association is re
quired to furnish the Tax Com
mission with a complete list of j
all investment stock-holders, and
the present value of ther stock.
These lists are certified to
the assessors and Boards of
Equalization that all may be as
sessed as contemplated by the
law. This is the first time this
has ever been done in the state,
and it is expected that the
result will be the assessment of
hundreds of thousands of values
never before on the tax books.

«
the plant of the Fletcher Cof-j
fee & Spice Company was de
stroyed by fire last week. Im
mediately after the fire, the
Plunkett-Jarrell Grocer Co. ten
dered the use of its roasters to
the unfortunate competitor, and
the generous offer was accept
ed. The Fletcher concern is a
gain operating in temporary
quarters on West Markham
street, one block west of the
old building.
The Plunkett-Jarrell Compa
ny has a battery of four roasters
which work a portion of the
week parching the Betsy Ross
coffee of that concern, and they
are then turned over to the
Fletcher Company to roast
Rose Bud, the leading brand of
that coincern. Thus the us
ers of the two brands of coffees
that have made Little Rocbk fa
mous, are permitted to continue
without a famine in coffee.

to accept. In this dilemma he
has appealed to Mr. Page to as
sist him in deciding which of the
best propositions he should ac
cept.
