ICITY WANTS COAL FOR ITS POOR
Have Sent Communication to Read
ing Company Asking for a
Supplv

The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company have been sent q
communication by the committee ap-
pointed by City Council to devise some
plan to nelieve the present coal situa-
ton here, asking that they be sold coal
at the list price, so Jnat II may be fur
nished to those who cannot get coal in
any other way.
It has been the custom of the city to
give away between 200 and 300 tons Of
coal year to the poor, but this year
they have not obtained any.
It is asserted that local coal dealers
have perhaps $4,000 on deposit with
the company named, which has been
paid in advance for coal TO be shipped
when the company can secure the nee
essary coal In the present situation
money cuts no figure at all. 1t is not
thought, therefore, that the city offer

pump which would be installed would
pump from 500 to 1000 gallons Of water
a minute, and with the proposed hose
arrangement it would be possible to
throw three streams of water over the

Mr.. Rice had plans of the proposed
