new plan for coal saving. which he may
put into operation within a few days.

apartment houses shall be banked at
q specified hour each evening, instead
of being kept going all night.
Apartment house dwellers are
roasted all night long, he said, and
coal burned needlessly. In some
apartment houses coal is burned for
the purposes of keeping in operation

apartments. This is practice he
would stop.
Mr.. Colladay also is working on a

He will confer with dealers on the sub

that orders received by individual
dealers which they were unable to fill
should be passed through the clearing
house to a dealer who is able to fill
them. which would clear up the situa-
tion now making the issue of emergency
orders necessary.
