Slate and Bone in Coal.

II have investigated in a number OF
instances the grade of coal delivered,
and found in nearly every case that there
was justice for the complaint of an I'M
reasonabl amount of slate and bone. In
such cases the matter was taken up with
the dealer who made the sale, and, with
one exception a. satisfactory settlement
arrived at between seller and purchaser.
AS is well known, large quantity of the
coal shipped into the District during the
past four months is practically unserv-
!ceable by reason of the large percentage
of slate and bone which it contains. Deal
ers have been helpless in the face of a
scarcity of COAL and have been forced
to take what they could get.
while they have been at such disad-
vantage, they have shown when their at
tention was called to the situation by
this department. on complaint received, a
disposition and willingness to remedy
the matter as best they could. and de-
