Commissioners to Readvertise for Bids
for Anthracite.

Luz AALAIdC4tS
When the bids for District supplies were
opened some time ago Commissioner West
discovered that the dealers in anthracite
coal had refrained from making any pro-
pt sails. Inquiry of the federal departments
showed that this lack of bidding was uni
versal. At that time the question of the
strike of the anthracite coal miners was
undecided and Commissioner West at once
directed Properly Clerk Hargrove to make
investigation as to the feasibility and ad.
visibility of procuring the coal for District
uss at the mines and storing 1t either IN
the Districts property yard or On a dump
leased for the purpose, and then distribut-
ing 1t to the schools fire engine houses and
other places where 1t should be needed.
Acting upon these instructions, Mr.. Har-
grove has reported to Commissioner West
that he has been making some investiga-
tions and that he has considerable data In
has not been able to make definite arrange
ments as to leasing coal dump for the
Districts use. In the meantime, the Com
missioners have been advised by the acting
secretary of the treasury, Mr.. Taylor, that
the Treasury Department proposes to re-
advertise for bids for furnishing anthracite
coal, the bids to be opened at 2 o'clock on
Friday, May 20. Commissioner West today
recommended to his colleagues that the
action of the Treasury Department be fol-
lowed and that proposals for coal for Dis.
trict use be invited to be opened stimuli
tepeously with those sent to the Treasury
Department.
contract has been matter of consideration
by the Commissioners, and the figures
which are now invited will be examined
with considerable interest by the officials.
