Germ to the fuel administrators and
transportation officials who have been
battling against odds in their endeavor
to relieve the metropolis from its
alarming shortage of coal.
Not in years has the ice menace
been so great. Barges with thousands
OF tons Of coal on board virtually were
ice bound.
Despite the handicaps Fuel Admin

getting considerable coal here during
the day.
AS hundreds of families unable to
get coal have been burning kerosene
the supply has dwindled to such an
extent that an oil famine is now

relief from the coal shortage in this
city was in sight early today and
thousands of householders faced
another bitter cold day without fuel.
Demands for gas have been so great
during the past week that it virtually
has exhausted the reserve supply and
the pressure has become so low that it
is almost impossible to use gas
stove. Kerosene is also very scarce.

Mile Wind $25O,OOO Loss.

Hoboken, N. j., Jan. 4.-Firemen,
United States soldiers and civilians,
aided by New York fire boats and rail-
road tubs brought stubborn blaze
under control after a fight of several
hours in the heart of the industrial
section, paralleling the government
controlled water front here today. A
big six story manufacturing plant
containing paper and other mill sup
plies owned by the Gatti-McQuade
company was destroyed with an esti-
mated property loss of $250,000.
Numerous small fires, caused by
sparks carried by a 40-miles wind
were checked by the soldiers and cit
liens while the firemen, handicapped
by weak water pressure, fought the
flames in the Gatti-McQuade building.
The fire boats prevented the flames
from spreading to a number of ships
loading with war supplies.
About one thousand soldiers guard
ed the district and civilians were
called on for patrol duty. A num-
Der of firemen, overcome by cold, ex-
haustion and smoke were removed to
