For Government Uses
Editor The Washington Herald:

Editor The Washington Herald
would like TO utilize your columns
20 correct an erroneous rumor that is
being widely circulated. that is: That
the government has taken over the
Arcade dance auditorium for ONCE
purposes.
I know nothing Of any such step
and If In the future any negotiations
The Washington herald., 1917-12-01

should mAterialize, We viii duly ad-
wise the dance loving public who have
supported US 80 admirably. particu-
larly 80 this season.
This unfounded rumor may have
gotten abroad from the fact that the
government has requisitioned many OF
the downtown halls, etc. but as /
have said. We anticipate no such step
at the Arcade.

out of business and others from turn
ing to a more profitable line.
A plan for licensing dealers which
will also effect the price Of coal is
under consideration.
A statement given out by Mr.. Wcav-
cr in paH follows:
THE District Fuel Administrator
gave authority for a gross margin of
$3.50 a ton on anthracite coal for do
mestic delivery, effective as of De-
ccmbcr 1st. This margin will result
in a slight increase in price to the
consumer. The investigation by him
and his advisory committee have war
ranted this increase at the present
time and it is confidently believed
that this margin will enable the deal
ers to distribute the coal now on
hand and coming into the city with
greater rapidity. The dealers have
been absolutely unable under the ex-
isting prices to offer their drivers and
laborers wages that would even hold
their existing labor. to say nothing
OF >ilcreasing their forces.
"The Fuel Administrator and his
advisory committee have under con-
sideration a plan for licensing dealers
and the close supervision OF retail
prices which 1t is hoped will result
in fair prices to the consumer and
fair profit to the dealers so that there
will be no diminution of the avenues
Of distribution or the coal supply OF
this city,
The advisory committee appointed
by Mr.. Weaver more than a month
ago is composed of Edward F. Cola
day, C. A. Aspinwall. w. w. Griffith,
c. T. Kingsbury and J. II. Hanna.
A plan for licensing dealers requlr-
ing them each day to report the stock
on hand probably will be put into ef-
feet shortly.
Under this plan, he said. he Will
have at hand at ALI times data upon
which to properly distribute coal to
the dealers throughout the city and
prevent any dealer from storing large
quantities of coal in their yards while
others have empty bins.
Dealer Punished.
One dealer IN this city who was
recently called before Mr.. Weaver
charged with boarding coal at the
most critical stage of the famine here
will not be allowed to have any more
fuel shipped to him and when his
present supply is exhausted will be
forced out of business.
About one hundred complaints have
been received at the Office of Mr..
Weaver from private individuals be-
cause of their inability to obtain coal.
1t has been charged that some deal
ers have been holding back their ship
ments and refusing to unload cars
when they had arrived in the local
freight yards in order that they might
enjoy the benefit of the raise in price
which was expected.
This was denied emphatlcally by
Mr.. Weaver, who declared that coal
Is unloaded Immediately upon its ar
rival in Washington by dealers and
promptly distributed to consumers.
Thirty-four carloads of anthracite
coal arrived in Washington railroad
yards yesterday and more than forty
carloads of bituminous coal were re-
ceived.

On Central avenue a handsome Chal- mers car took the count by skid ding into the curb and expeditiously removing a rear wheel without the formality of mechanical aid. Drivers were, as a rule, careful and there was no need of speed cops or laws for the driver going faster than the present conservative limit had 9 fine chance of coming to grief with out official assistance.
 Snow in the north, partly cloudy in the state but with not. much pros poets of rain is the prediction for today for Arizona. So far the rain has been little more than an annoy ance with the added feeling that it has said unto the dust, Your name is mud"

H, ]. M CHUNG CHOSEN HEAD
 OF CIVIC BODY
Chamber of Commerce Has
 Organizing Meeting to
 Select Officers Named for Big Work in Coming Year

Officers of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce for the coming fiscal year of the organization were chosen last evening, H. J. McClung being elected president by the incoming board, with Harry H. Asbury, first vice president; John M. Aitken, second vice. president; A E. Esgate, treasurer and Harry Welch, secretary.
 The organizing meeting of the new directors took place following a de- lightful dinner given last evening at the Arizona club at which pr. J. c. Norton, the retiring president of the Chamber of Commerce, was host. Dr. Norton had both the old board mem- bers and the members of the new board as his guests and matters of impor- tance were informally discussed in ad- dition to the holding of the organizing election for the year.
 President McClung and his associates face one of the most important years in the history of the Chamber of Com merce. Few observers but agree that the Salt River valley is in for such a period of prosperity and development as it has never before known and the Chamber of Commerce is making plans
 to lead in the work of bringing this section and the entire state into its own. The tax placed upon hotel ac- commodations this winter, the demand for homes which far exceeds the sup ] ply and the thousand and one things
 and problems which confront the val j ley, not the least of which is the neet 1 for good roads. are all to receive ap- propriate attention in the year to come i The new board of directors start: i out with the addition of anA advisory board made up of representative mel 1 in the surrounding communities and i 1 is hoped in this manner that the worl ! of the chamber in 1917 will be made o more interest to all in the Salt Rive
 valley than ever before.
