 Citizens of Halifax were still SO oc- cupied today with the rehabilitation of their city that there was no public attendance when the taking of testi- mony began.

 The Northland brought large quantity of window glass, roofing pa- per and other supplies much needed to make the remaining homes more comfortable and to provide more suit able temporary quarters for the homeless.
 The weather was intensely cold to- day and an early snow storm gave in- dications of continuing throughout the day.

200 TURNED AWAY
 BY FUEL BOARD
Continued from Page 1.)

A similar condition was found at the yards of the Sprague Coal Go. and of Patrick McGee. The latter, in an interview said: i've been in the coal business for a great many years, but never have seen a, condition like this. I re- member when coal sold at $15 ton But at that time we had plenty of it.
 A barge load of 500 tons arrived at the McGee yards yesterday, but il is being delivered to custom CTS as fast as 1t is unloaded. A barge load of egg coal was also being unloaded at the docks of A. McNeil O Sons Coal Co.,, who distribute at wholesale.
 The equipment of dealers is lying idle, causing great financial losses. yard laborers are, for the great ma jority, without work, but remain on the companies payrolls.
 Following the suggestion of The Farmer to double the daily allotment to 100 tons to be distributed in half ton lots, MT. Fisher said today that the board has it under consideration, but cannot get it into effect until the dealers get coal to distribute. Fisher las faith in Fuel Administrator Gar field and believes something will be done immediately to relieve condi- tions.
 Even Policeman Garrity was touch ed by the pathetic tales of women in line. Several women said they have already lost two days pay at their places of employment, because they had to stand so long in line. The sufferings of sick persons are increas- ed and water pipes are freezing be- cause of fuel lack, according to the many complaints.
 Mrs. R. Beardsley of 79S Main street stood in line for nearly two hours yesterday and for the same length of time today. She is more than 70 years old and appealed to Secretary Fadwell, saying she would be satisfied to get one bag of coal. Mrs. Walsh of 150 Resell street com plained that her home was made miserable and water pipes had frozen.
 Cecelia McCarver, a pretty little nine-year old girl, after being buffeted about in the line yesterday and today, told her story in a pathetic manner. She said her mother and father were unable to get to the office, and their home at SC Texas avenue was cold. Mrs. Obert, of 37 North Washington avenue appealed for small quantity of fuel to relieve the sufferings of sick persons in her home.
 Several Chinese laundrymen applied and said unless they got coal inn mediately they would be forced to sus- pend business. Barbers also com plained that their business was threatened.
 In the absence of Chairman Carl F. Siemon, MT. Fisher\acted as spokes- man for the board today and said, Washington has promised us relief, but if the situation is to be remedied we must get coal shipments at regu- lar intervals. Whats one or two 'harges for 6 city like Bridgeport 9" he asked. ''Why it melts away in no time"
