Hartford, Nov. 6-According to an
announcement made today by the con-
servation division of the Federal Fuel
Administration for Connecticut, the
soft coal situation in this state may
confidently be rated as easy, but anX-
iety is felt as to hard coal. 1t was
said that the excellent soft coal situa-
ton was due partly to an increase of
about a per cent. in production and
partly to econ omies effected. through
The work of the administrative en-
gineers of the conservation division.
The conservation division has, up
to November 2, analysed question
naires from 945 of the states power
and large heating plants. These
questionnaires which were sent to
practically all steam producers of the
state, have also been rated. Three
hundred and fifteen of these plants,
which used last year a total of 1929,
asa net tons of coal, have, by follow
ing the recommendations of the Fuel
Administration, increased their eff
cheney to an extent that will effect al
annual saving of about PA, 900 tons
The plants from which questionnaircs
have been rated represent less than
two thirds of the total for the state.
Since Connecticut's quota of coal to be
saved is $4,000 tons, the indicated
total saving will be we'll above the
quota.
Connecticut Saves Coal.
1T is apparent that this saving, &C
complished by improvements, care
and common sense, and without in
any way curtailing production, rep
| resents an ample margin between
want and plenty said the conserva-
ton divisions announcement. Con
necticut may rightfully claim a share
in this splendid work, since the en-
| gineer members of this division had
no small part in initiating and formu-
| lating the national policy"
The inspection plan, it was said, is
now in operation in twenty-six states.
| Connecticut was the first state to
adopt it. A representative of the
Federal Fuel Administration, when at
| the offices of the Connecticut Admin
| istration recently, said that this
states administrative engineers were
we'll in the lead in work done and
| results accomplished.
THE cheerful cooperation of a
very large part of the users of coal
in following the plan of the Fuel
! administration leading to economy in
