FUEL ADMINISTRATOR ISSUES A
RULING PLACING LIMIT ON
TONNAGE FOR HOMES.
RULING is IN EFFECT NOW
Dealers Must Have Affidavit From
Customers That Order Is Not Be-
ina Evaded-Square Deal Guar
teed the Buying. Public.

% Nashville.-Fuel Administrator W.
E. Meyer has issued a ruling, approved
by Harry A. Garfield, national fuel adj
ministrator, that no person in the state
will be allowed to buy at one time for
use in a home more than two tons OF
coal, nor will any person be allowed to
buy two tons until he has on hand less
than two tons.
The ruling is effective at once and is
directed at all persons who endeavor
to hoard supplies of coal. Coal deal
ers are required to obtain from the
purchasers a pledge that they Will not
violate this regulation. This step,
while apparently drastic, is made Inn
perative by conditions in regard to
coal in Tennessee. There is an ample
supply, but boarding and economy in
its use will be necessary TO prevent
suffering.
At the recent meeting OF the arvis-
ory committee Of the state fuel admin
istration, it was the unanimous opin-
ion of the committee that the two ton
rimit would be necessary. Adm1n1sra-
tor Meyer submitted the recommends
ton to National Fuel Administrator
Garfield, with the result that officials
approval was telegraphed Administra
cor Meyer.
. The following is a copy of the ruling
by Administrator Meyer:
important notice to the citizens Of
Tennessee:
"The following regulations for Ten
nessee have the approval of H. A.
Garfield, United States fuel admins
traitor, and are put in force by me this
day:
mo one will be allowed to buy for
a private home more than two tons or
coal at one time, and not buy these
two tons until the supply on hand is
less than two tons.
1.-THE dealer VIII require purchaser
to sign a written statement under oath
showing amount of coal on hand, also
how much the purchaser has ordered
elsewhere and has not yet received.
1.-THE purchaser will be required to
pledge himself not to buy or attempt
to buy any more coal until his supply
shall become less than two tons.

United States Fuel Administrator for
Tennessee"

cipitation on record. Other small re-

inches The average precipitation at
Grand Rapids for Novembe for a IA
year period is 1853 inches. An exam
ination of the records Of Geo. T. Nixon
local weather observer shows that
Grand Rapids was blessed with good
weather the past month and in fact
has been fortunate in experiencing
tempera lures considerably above nor
NAL. A year ago there was a spell of
cold weather November IA, 1916 hav-
ing had a maximum of 20 and min
imum of 7 degrees below zero; and No
vember Is, same year it was below
