President Orr of the Rapid Transit Commission

CONNECTICUT SITUATION SERIOUS
PRICE OF HARD COAL ADVANCED 81 a TON
IN THIRTY-SIX HOURS

Haven, Conn. Sept ga most serious
situa+ion is now facing Connecticut through the
scarcity Of anthracite coal Several OF me
smaller cities and towns have already ad-
vanced the price OF coal 10 SIS a ton, and now
the dealers in this city, which has been for
generation one of the main Southern New-Eng-
land distributing points for coal have jumped
the price TO SIS. This is an increase of 81 a
ton within thrty-six hours, and is already
prohibitive for the majority Of consumers. With
the rise in Goa, comes also the announcement
that hard wood has been advanced TO so

be made almost Immediately.

are buying their coal his week in bags, few at

But the worst feature OF the situation in this

tories. business houses and schools Super
intendent Beede OF the public schools said this
morning that some two hundred tons were on
hand for immediate consumption, and that the
Board of Education was prepared to purchase
fresh supplies 'as they were needed" The

pressing one, but the great majority Of the
business buildings without their usual win
