OF coal having become more apparent
as the war has progressed, owing to
England's attitude. The king has re-
quested the directors of the railways
to lay before him at the earliest pos

electrifying the Kiruna-Svare line
and has also called upon the water
power commission to prepare plans
for the extension of the Sporjus wa
