The predicted cold wave arrived an
time. but it did not grow as cold 81
Che weather officials thought that +,
would.
It was forecast that the tempera-
ture would get down around the zero
I'mark, and possibly go a few degrees
below that. The mercury, however.
aid not drop as low as that. The low
est recorded during the spell was 10
degrees, NJ it was biting cold at thaA
and very few people ventured out of
doors. Nearly everyone was content
TO remain at home and rake over
fires and then sit around and try to
keep warm. The temperature ascend
ed somewhat in the course of the day
and when the northwest winds abated
along about nightfall, conditions were
Ia little more comfortable. 1t is a few
degrees warmer today with indica-
ti0ns that it will moderate even more.
From the brisk northwest winds of
yesterday, the breeze has shifted over
to the western quarter and the wind
is Of the light order. . Today's fore
cast is for snow and warmer tonight.
and snow or rain tomorrow.
Notwithstanding that yesterday was
Sunday, the delivery of coal to the
families OF naval officers living in
Annapolis, together with those Of the
enlisted men and civilians employed
at the government reservation, and
residing in the city. was continued at
the instance Of the Naval Academy
authorities. The fuel shortage here
has reached grave proportions, and
.Rear-Admiral Edward w. Eberle, Su-
perintendent OF the Naval Academy,
and Mayor James f. Strange, who
have been acting together, have re-
.ceived high commentator for their
efforts in trying to meet the problem.
Every automobile truck and cart or
wagon available at the Academy was
pressed into service during the day to
haul the coal to various sections OF the
city Every family entitled to it is be-
ing served in half-ton lots to tide them
over the frigid spell The coal is
dumped on ones sidewalk, and it is
not an uncommon sight to see fathers
and their children carrying the fuel
in seuttles and slowing it away, ow-
ing to the scarcity of ordinary labor.
The old saying Of precious as dia-
monds," could not be more applicable
than it is with Jumps of coal at the
present time. Many colored residents
of the city were on the alert when
the government coal was being dis
tributed With baskets and bags. aged
women and children kept track of the
destination of the delivery trucks, and
were on the spot to clean up what
waste there might be.
There is not a bit of hard coal in the
city, and the several dealers have only
"a scant supply Of the soft variety.
And the only coke dealer in the city
has curbed the sales of that fuel to
customers to one and two bushels at
Ia time, so scarce is the supply.
Expectations of relief from the ice
embargo as a result OF the higher
Temperature Saturday and the heavy
rains of the night before, went a.
glimmering with the cold wave that
set in Saturday night.
