One of the greatest obstacles to commerce in China is the "likin," the internal tax on goods in transit, orig inating as a war tax during the Tai ping rebellion. The "liki" was origi nally a tax of one-tenth of 1 per cent of the value of the goods when it was first Imposed, about 1853, but today its amount is apparently determined arbitrarily by the collector. ORDER OF NOTICE No. 609. Whereas, E. A. Cook, Receiver un der appointment by the Court of Chancery of the Independent Tele phone Exchange, has filed with the Public Service Commission of Ver mont a petition which is in words and figures as follows : "STATE OF VERMONT. To the Public Service Commission of the state of Vermont. Petition for Approval of Sale of the Independent Telephone Exchange. Comes, E. A Cook, Receiver under appointment by the Court of Chan cery of the Independent Telephone Ex change, and requests Your Honorable Body to confirm the sale hereinafter described of the entire assets of said Independent Telephone Exchange, a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the state of Vermont, and operating a telephone business in the counties of Orleans and Caledonia, In Orleans County Court of Chan cery a petition was brought by myself as trustee of certain interests and certain individuals who were as trus tee of certain interests and certain in dividuals who were compelled to pay a mortgage given by said Indepen dent Telephone Exchange to foreclose said mortgage, and a decree therein was rendered by said Court ot Chancery in favor of myself as such trustee against said Independent Tele phone Exhange, - and all persons claiming thereunder, which becomes absolute on or about the 15th day of March, 1919. In the proceedings in said cause I was appointed receiver of said Inde pendent Telephone Exchange, accept ed the office, qualified and began oper ating the same on April 1, 1918, and have since continued in operation thereof as such receiver. In the decree in the above named cause, I was given authority to sell the property of said telephone com pany, subject to the approval of the Chancellor. The following facts should appear before Your Honorable Body: a. The amount of stock held by the stockholders and paid for by them in the company is in the vicinity of Twelve Thousand ($12,000) Dollars, probably more, but I have been un able to find the Stock Book. b. The indebtedness of said com pany, aside from the stock, is be-1 tween $l,U0!J and $20,000. c. This indebtedness includes the amount of the decree in this cause, which was about $11,000. d. I took charge of the property as receiver April 1, 1918, and have continued the operation of the same and on the first day of January, 1919, the income of the company had failed to pay the expenses to an amount of more than $1,000. e. While operating the plant, I have persistently tried to obtain a purchaser for the same, and in Octo ber, 1918, the engineer of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, located at Boston, in the state of Massachusetts, examined the physical property and placed an ap- praisal on the same, and nn tha oia IfLZ t rceher 1918, said New En- gland Telephone and Telegraph Com- for the same. ii. ue Bum OI i3uuu f.

At that meeting I placed be fore a large number of the above de" scribed people the situation with i lation to the Independent Telephone Exchange, and tried to enlist 8ome parties interested in an independent telephone line to take some action and at that time a committee was ap. pointed to consider the situation and report at a meeting to be held on the 6th day of January, 1919. h. On the 6th day of Januarr 1919, I was compelled to be at Mont pelier, and the meeting was not held for the reason that the committee who were to investigate the matter reported to me that they were unable to find any personal funds to take hold of the venture. i. In the meanwhile I had procured the consent of the New England Tel ephone and Telegraph Company to MM the;r offer onen until the 10th day of January, 1919. j. On the 6th day of January, 1919, one John Buckley, who is one of the guarantors and parties inter ested in said decree, notified me that he desired to purchase the lines and run them as an independent line, and I notified him that 1 should be glad to turn the plant over to independent individuals, but I must have a guar anty that I would be paid the f 13,000 when approved by Your Honorable Body and the Chancellor. k. On January 10, 1919, after hav ing seen John Buckley and learning from him that he was unable to ob tain the guaranty at that time, I ac cepted the offer of the New Enpland Telephone and Telegraph Company. I am fully satisfied that, although the property of the Independent Tele phone Exchange has cost to date in the vicinity of $30,000, it is not now worth any more than, if as much as, $13,000, as it is not paying concern, and althouph it might be, possible, if the lines ex tending too far back were cut off and it was placed in a small compass to pay expenses, I am satisfied that un der no conditions would it pay any fair interest rate on $12,000, leavin? alone the question of depreciation and repayment of principal. This sale has been reported to the Court of Chancery for approval, a copy of which report is hereto attach ed and made a part hereof. Therefore, your petitioner respect fully requests Your Honorable Body to" take such action as may be proper in the premises and confirm the sale above described. E. A. Cook. W. W. Reirden, Solicitor for Receiver." NOTICE IS HEREBY given that the Public Service Commission will hold a public hearing upon said peti tion at the office of W. W.
