HOW SCHOOLS JARED
DURING COAL FAMINE
Major SimmS' Report Shows Fairly
Satisfactory Condition,

Major =. D, Simms, Superintendent of
Property. has submitted to Commission
er Mcfarland d detailed report upon
The manner IN which the school build
ings OF the District were supplied with
coal when the famine in fuel required
the public schools in many places to be
closed The report deals with the sew
eraI purchases made OF local dealers,
and of The Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company. and the coke and
bituminous coal bought from the Ale
gheny Coal Company to keep the fur
naces of the schools running
Major Simms shows how the ADVERTISE
ment for bids with the local dealers
failed on account of the Commissioners
not being able under the law to include
the strike clause" in the contracts. It
was found on August IS that no coal was
in sight. and extraordinary means had
10 be used To obtain supply The re-
port describes the experiments made
with soft coal and soke,7 and she puF-
chase of 923 tons OF bituminOus coal and
COO tons of coke, to be mixed and
used as occasion might require.
Reference is made to the bargain made
by The Commissioners with President
Baer OF the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company, whereby about 5000
tons of anthracite coal were delivered at
the time when the scarcity of fuel was
most acute. \ thousand tons of bitumi-
nous coal was bought of X. ] Zeh, and
smaller lots of bituminous and anthra-
cite from other dealers
In ibis way the supply was kept up.
and Major Simms says only in one in
stance was school building closed on
account OF n lack of coal. and then only
for a part Of the day. The lack was due
10 a mistake in delivery. and not because
the coal was not on hand.
Major Simms speaks in complimentary
terms or the cooperation Of all parties
He says they were actuated by the hign-
est sentiments OF public spirit. and ne
thinks otherwise the result would not
have been so gratifying. He mentions
few instances in which The coal was
not delivered as promptly as could have
been wished. thereby giving some anx-
/ iety to janitors. but he thinks under all
circumstances the dealers did as well
/ as they could.
/ Major Simms says Washington suffer
/ ed less than other towns nearer the Goa,
regions
! Major Sjmms, who represented the
/ Commissioners in all the deals for coal
/ has received the warm commentator OF
/ the Board.
