COAL FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Three Hundred Tons Purchased
With More in Prospect.

Purchase Of 900 tons of coal this
morning from the L. E. White Company
of Washington, payment to be made
when the money is appropriated by
Congress, decidedly improved the Dis
trict's fuel shortage situation. There
is now enough coal on hand to keep
the schools going until next Monday
and municipal officials are more conf
dent it will not be necessary to close
any of the schools on account of lack
of coal.
Instead of advertising for 5000 tons
of coal. as originally determined, the
Commissioners yesterday decided to in
vite bids for smaller quantities from
time to time. Bids for 500 tons will be
opened at the District building Satur-
day afternoon at o'clock. With pros
pect of an early extra session of Con-
sress, the Commissioners are confident
that dealers who furnish the city with
coal under the deferred payment plan
will not be long in getting their money.
