Burn Irish Coal.-At meeting of
the finance committee of the Leitrim
county council, which was held in Car
rick-on-Shannon on Wednesday, and at
which Mr.. Patrick Flynn, j. p, chair
man of the committee, presided, the
other councillors present being Messrs.
Thomas ]. McDermott and d. McMan-
US. question of advertising for a sup
ply of the coal for the court house
arose.
The secretary (Mr. Charles Dolan)
said that the application for the sup
ply of coal had been made by the sub
sheriff, Mr.. Wilton Waugh, VINO stated
that he required twenty tons of Scotch
and five tons of Irish coal.
Mr.. MacManuS said that such an APP
plication should not be acceded to, as
he did not see why the Irish coal should
not be burned exclusively. The best
coal in the kingdom was that which
came from the Arigna mines in county
Leitrim, and when such was the case
he did not see why they should import
Scotch coal The Irish coal gave out
more heat and was more lasting than
the Scotch coal. but, of course, the
latter was handler for the caretaker,
as if he put a match to it, it was
alight Qaughter). He would oppose
any Scotch coal at all being advertised
for and propose that all Irish coal be
had (hear, hear.
The chairman said that so far as
the Leitrim county council was con-
cerned with regard to Scotch coal, they
had an Irish article equal to, if not
far better than the foreign material
Chear, hear. He would strike out the
word Scotch from the advertisement
altogether and then it would die a nat
ural death daughter and hear, hear.
Mr.. McDermott said that he, too, was
in favor of all Irish coal. They had coal
mines at Arigna in their own county
where employment was given to a con-
siderable number of men and boys, and
it was their duty to give their strong
est support to the home manufactured
article (hear. hear).
1t was decided to advertise for a
large quantity of Irish coal, and that
in future nothing else be advertised for.
