Waterloo. 49,.
Many small towns In this vicinity
are complaining of fuel shortage,
Of the local fuel board. Waterloo deal
ers have been asked to assist in allie
Waiting conditions but whether or not
they will comply depends upon the
weather and shipments from Illinois
and other states where mines are To-
Gated. Local dealers intend to take
care of their own patrons first but II
conditions permit, will send coal to
towns where a shortage exists. Mr..
sedgwick said that the trouble in the
smaller towns was that dealers did
not purchase heavily and often had
difficulty in meeting payments. Large
dealers who pay promptly and order
in large quantities, receive first con-
sideration from mine operators.
