POOR MAKE INROADS
ON COUNCIL COAL FUND

Fair and colder, was the weather
mans prediction for today and he was
not far of his guess The thermom-
eter was down to degrees above
zero on the hill on the West Side at
7 o'clock this morning, while i'm the
heart OF the city, IL registered between
o and 6 degI ees above, plenty cold
enough for anybody
Just as relief was reasonably hoped
for, the thermometer showing % de-
grees above zero at the same hour
yesterday morning, the announcement
Of the weather forecaster that today
would be another cold one, and per-
haps the most consistently cold day
Of the winter, came as a disappoint-
ment TO many.
The weather yesterday was what
might be called ideal winter weather,
not too cold and yet not exactly warm,
just around the freezing point A big
change set in during the afternoon,
however. just as the weather man had
predicted. The thermometer steadily
dropped and last night the wind
moaned and a fine dust OF snow filled
the air. BY drops of from two 10
four degrees, the cold became pierre
ing, and the hope for relief was dis
PEELED. The warmer weather of tho
morning lasted just long enough 20
make the cold blast following II more
telling in its effect
Suffering throughout the city among
the poorer classes remains great, and
charitable institutions have a big field
TO work in. The effect of the pro-
longed cold spell is perhaps most
noticeable TO the members of Council,
each OF whom has about twenty tons
Of coal TO distribute from the poor
fund. In some of the wards where
the poorer class is more numerous. the
Councilmen have long since gone be-
yond the allotted number of tons COM
ing to them, and il is predicted that II
the present weather continues there
will be a big deficit IN the coal account
