Washington, Feb. 6.-With tn,
east facing the most acute coal short
age Of the winter and in the gri,
OF the coldest weather ina generation
the government decided that thu
heatless Monday programme cannot
at this time be abandoned. as had
been hoped.
Inc conclusion to continue the
closing was reached at a conference
between Fuel Administrator Garfield
and Director General McAdoo. at,
tended by dozen state fuel admins.
traitors. There was no official an.
nouncement, but joint statement
probably will be given out later.
There had been every indication
up to Monday night that the Mon
day holidays We're over, but reports
brought to Washington by the state
fuel administrators that throughout
most of the east there is on hand only
one days supply of coal, coupled with
the weather situation, were accepted
as convincing proof that the present
IS no time to lift the closing order
Even Mr.. McAdoo, who up to this
time is understood to have opposed
the closing plan, was said to have
agreed that until the weather per.
mlts an improvement in railroad
transportation the order should be
in force.
The blizzard has cut coal produc.
ton and movement to such an extent
that officials pointed out that had |
the Monday closings been abandoned
industry would beforced to shut down
o a considerable extent because of
ack OF fuel. In fact, reports to the
suel administration showed that in
many states plants already are clos
ng in large numbers.
1t was emphasized that the fuel ad
is determined that what
oal is unloaded and distributed shall
% to householders first. State fue
administrators have been given al
most unlimited authority to diver
oal from other consumers to keer
ne people warm in their homes.
For the first time since coal begar

Poll Tax Collections Good

The period in which citizens could
pay their poll taxes and retain thei,
right to vote closed February /, and
the books of John B. Williams
sheriff and tax collector of Lowndes
county, show that collections were
good, the amount taken in having
been larger this year than last. Def.
mite figures are not yet obtainable
but Sheriff Williams states that col.
lections were unusually large, the in
crease in the number of citizens who
paid their poll taxes being especially
notable.

The menus offered patrons of res

Up to last Monday the restaurants
