CITY WITHOUT COAL
 FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
President Ward Appeals to Coal Operators Ass0cia-
 tion for Assistance

A serious situation has developed at the city hall regarding fuel for the city for the coming year.
 We can buy no coal now-there is no coal for sale,' stated MT. Ward, "and I. don't know of but one thing to do, and that is to appeal to the local coal operators to furnish us coal as a patriotic duty, for it would be an awful calamity for us to be without coal, sit ting right on top of coal mine, so to speak" said President Ward of the city commission yesterday afternoon.
 MT. Ward called attention to the fact that this matter was formerly handled by MT. Weatherly's department.
 rhe city needs about 10000 tons per year,s and 1t may be possible for them to get this amount in small lots. but it will mean some fast work, for the schools have no coal, and the contract the city is now buying coal under has about expired.
 R. M. Griffin city purchasing agent, is on the job. and if anybody has coal to sell, he is the man to see, for he wants to buy coal bad.
 MT Ward has addressed the following letter to the secretary of the Alabama Coal Operators association:
 MT. James l.. Davidson, Secretary Coal Operators Association Birmingham.
 Dear Sir: Referring further to our in regard to the inability of the city to buy coal, I would appreciate 1t if you would call a meeting of the Coal Ope, q tors association at once and let me present the city's claims for some preferential treatment. #
 T believe the operators will consider it their patriotic duty to see that the public schools and the city's operations are protected at all hazards. Very truly yours, GEORGE B. WARD,
 President
