TRYING TO SPEED COAL DELIVERIES
 FOR BRIDGEPORT
CCo11tfnued from Page 1.l

bound to be a shortage again next winter. Plants are not storing coal, but Bridgeport, a center of war mu- nitions work, should not be allowed to suffer.
 Prices of $1O and s1O.5O for the do- nestle sizes of coal were announced yesterday by the commission. It is intended to take up the matter of prices charged by peddlers, and per- haps there will be some reduction in the figures announced. All of these prices, Pardy says, are based upon the cost of the coal at the plant of the retail dealer.
 Pardy is not an alarmist, but be- lieves the people of Bridgeport should be protected, and are entitled to know what to expect. The figures given are for only two-thirds of the normal supply. Winter shipments are looked to to make up the remaining 125,O0O tons of coal needed in the city.
