"The present excessive cost Of
food Is not justified. There is no
corresponding shortage Of supply

r. |. Flittie, of the Bank of BrOokings,
is the gentleman who has charge of
all fuel problems that may mature
with us, and will take an invoice of
the fuel stocks o held in the coun-
ty. He has been at the work for a
few days and is getting further data
all the time as to how the towns are
situated as TO coal. He finds that
there is little hard coal in some Of
the towns and that with soft coal
there are many different prices owing
to the different kinds of coal that are
handled.
He has appointed julius Clavan of
White and +. A. Berke of Elkton as
assistants and they will give him all
the help they car in looking after the
matter of supply and demand. There
seems to be no idea at this time to
do anything in the way of fixing
prices, as at the present time there
does not seem to be any disposition
to make undue charge for the COM
modify.
our readers must remember that
from now on the matter of fuel is go
