have sent request to all larger cities
in the country for consumers to cut
down their consumption of coal wher-
ever possible. While the need of
economy exists in Duluth also there
is no danger Of any residents of that
city suffering from the cold until next
winter at least.
Duluth has sufficient bituminous
coal on the docks to last until June 1,
If 1t is carefully conserved. Duluth
