AsHEvI[LE's CITY WOOD YARD.
Children With Tow Sacks May Get
Dimes Worth-Situation Is
Much Relieved.

Asheville. - Asheville's municipal
woodward has proved blessing to the
city during the present cold snap, as
coal has been decidedly scarce, and
many OF the poorer people have had
to depend entirely on the woodward for
fuei. For the past week according to
statement made by coal man, the
coal yards have been leading a hand
to-mouth, or rather, car-to-wagon ex-
lstence.
While no actual coal famine has ex-
listed as yet, many OF the yards have
seen the sun go down without a pound
or coal on hand for the morrow.
The capacity of the municipal wood.
yard has been doubled, and it is the
busiest place in Asheville at the pres
ent time. The city takes all offers of
wood, paying $500 a cord, and in addi-
ton, is cutting lot more on various
municipal tracts. This wood is cut
into stove lengths, and the actual cost
or handling is added, bringing the
price Of wood to $3.50 per cord.
Children with tow sacks can get
dimes worth OF wood at this rate, and
wagon load goes at the same rate
One notable incident of the cold snap
was when a chauffeur, driving a high
powered car, drove up and carried off
several sacks, with orders that a wag-
on load should follow as soon as posi-
