STATES SUPPLY OF COAL
THIRTY THOUSAND TONS RE-
CURED BY TEN PUBLIC
INSTITUTIONS
BIDS WILL SOON BE ASKED
1t Is Hinted That the Combine AD-
portions the Big Con-
tracts Amongst Its
Members.

It requires very close to 10000 tons Of
coal to run the state institutions for one
year, and upon the governor, state audi
tor and state treasurer is incumbent, as
members of the board of fuel commits
sioners, the purchase of the states an
nual supply Of fuel A meeting of the
commission was held yesterday, and it
was decided to advertise for bids for
coal at delivered prices at the ten state
institutions.
Bids will be opened Aug. 1, and the con-
tract let to the lowest bidder. Youghio-
gheny, or soft coal, is required in the larg-
est quantities, and the bulk of the 10000
tons required annually Is Of this variety.
The state is, perhaps, as large a custom
er of the coal companies as any corpora
ton other than the railroad companies,
and there is some very close fractional
figuring to get these contracts However,
in no event is there much range in prices,
as it costs just about SO much to lay coal
down at the head of the lakes and Jug
Cling the figures one way or the other
means either profit or loss.
1t has been vaguely limited that the coal
combine decide among themselves which
company shall have the contract for the
fuel for certain institution, and in that
| case the concern selected bids a few cents
lower than the lowest. Last year, howeV-
er, it was quite evident that the com
bne got the worst of it, as several out
side comprehensive is, corporations op-
| Grating their own mines outside the com
bine-submitted figures and secured sew
eral very profitable contracts. However,
all the big companies are in on the deal,
and black diamonds are held as the COM
bine figures, and unless the commodity
is bought at the mine and shipped here,
it cannot be procured in the Northwest,
as the supply is controlled by the trust.
The three hospitals for the insane, be-
ing the largest state institutions, of ne
cessity consume the largest amount of
coal. Fergus Falls requires COCO tons OF
Youghiogheny lump coal, and 200 tons Of
anthracite. The other two hospitals take
about $500 tons apiece The state house
requires 500 tons, outside of the legislative
year, when the consumption is very much
more At the Faribault deaf, dumb and
bind Institutes $3.50 tons of coal are re-
quired for heating and power, and the
training school at Red Wing is supplied
with 2,050 tons. The soldiers home re-
st. Cloud burns 300 tons of black amends,
the Winona normal $50 tons and the state
public school 1925 tons. The board of
prison managers of the state prison con-
tract for their own coal.
