it would seem that the logical thing
to do would be to utilize the rapidly
waning supply Of hard coal for the
homes and use the soft coal in ths
factories and power houses.
The real problem before the east
is the abatement OF smoke from soft
coal New York Is now showing that
this can be done in the experiments
