COAL SHORTAGE IN NORWICH
Local Dealers Have Only Small Supply of Anthracite
Hand and Situation is Getting Serious-Other Cities in
State Are Equally Affected.

Unless immediate steps are taken to-
wards the relief of the coal situation
the supply of anthracite in this city
will soon be exhausted. AS it is the
situation has assumed a rather serious
aspect for the larger dealers have no
more than between two or three weeks
supply and the other dealers have but
one or two weeks supply while some
of them have only two or three days
supply on hand.
1t is said that the dealers are exper-
fencing trouble in getting coal from
the mines to tide water points in Penn
sylvanla and New Jersey where it is
taken in barges and transported to the
various distributing points. The New
Haven road has accepted all the barge
coal at Allyn'S Point that has been Of
fered and have handled it promptly,
but there seems to be great difficulty
in getting carloads of coal from the
mines to the barge ports.
AS the New Haven road has placed
an embargo on coal, all rail, the deal
ers can neither get tide water coal nor
coal, all rail
Other cities throughout the state re-
port similar conditions in regard to
the coal supply and in response to APP
peals from various chambers of com
merce in the state, Edward P. Jones,
acting president of the Connecticut
State Chamber of Commerce, in the
absence of President Charles A. Pease.
has issued a call for a meeting of the
state directors to be held at New Ha-
ven today for the purpose of taking
such action as seems best in the mat
ter.

in this city at the present time regard
ing the shortage OF coal. The call that
has been sent out by Acting President
Jones is as follows:
To the Officers and Directors of the
Connecticut Chamber of Com
merce:
1t is reported that the fuel supply
in many of the towns and cities of the
state is so limited that only small
quantities are being delivered at a
time and that the supply on hand will
only last a few days. In other places
the supply is exhausted and the in
habitants are suffering. As you know
coal and none is being accepted for
shipment. The Meriden Chamber of
Commerce has appealed to the state
chamber to act in the matter and ar
range if possible with the railroad
! company for the shipment of enough
| hard coal to relieve the distress which
| is imminent
In the absence of President Pease
| and acting under his orders if such
an emergency should arise, 1 hereby
| call a special meeting of the direc-
| tors of the Connecticut Chamber of
| Commerce to be held at Hotel Garde

! tor ascertain just how much coal is
| available in his town or city for i'm.

for future deliveries. 1t is probable

essary for us to give this immediat,

Edwards killed two deer an didn't
report killing either, although the
law calls for making a report to the
commissioner within 81 hours after
the killing.
The game protectors in this viCin-

and ignoring the law calling for a
report is becoming too general. Game
Protector Decker said Edwards re-
turned to his house with a fresh
killed deer at the time the protector
was there to make this arrest.
