NORWICH COAL FIRES 60 OUT TODAY
In Kitchens and Furnaces According to Appeal by Fuel Ad
 nsrator of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachu- setts-Use Gas Oil Say Fuel Advisors and Accumu- late Coal Reserve for Next Winter in New England.

Norwich householders are called upon this morning, May Day, to put out their kitchen ranges and their heaters and furnaces that use coal Yhe call is sent out all over Con- necticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island by the federal fuel administra- tors of these states, who appeal to the people to use gas or oil for the necessary cooking and heating from now on until fall. in order that a saw ing of coal may be made to accumu- late reserve supply for New Eng land for next winter
 At least 100000 tons of coal may be saved this year in New England according to conservative estimate by the fuel administrators, by putting out the furnace fires at once.
 Lacking adequate tonnage to bring coal from the mines, New England S householders must realize the gravity of the situation and save the fuel that can be dispensed with during the spring and summer months without great discomfort, according to Tnes. W. Russell, Connecticut fuel admin istrator, if a situation next winter even worse than this. year is to be avoided.
 . The fuel administrators, James J. Storrow of Massachusetts. George H. Holmes of Rhode Island, and Thomas W. Russell of Connecticut, have ask ed the householders in their respec- i tive jurisdictions ito observe these rules:
 Stop using coal in furnaces on May 1st. A wood fire can be made in the furnace on cold days when temper ary heat is needed and in rooms where special heat is desired, open fires or local heaters can be used.
 After May 1, if you have, an oil or gas range. do your cooking on it en-

tirely and do not light the coal range
 It is wasteful to use an oil or gas range while the coal range is burn ing. Do not wait as usUNl until the
 weather is so hot that you are driven ito using oil or gas. but begin to do so
 now.
 If you have storage space, lay in
 now a supply of green wood for next
 winters use, and let it season dur
 ing the summer. There will be 9
 scarcity of seasoned fire wood next
 winter. Burning green wood is un-
 satisfactory and gives only 65 per
 cent. of the heat obtained from dry
 wood.
 "The people of New England should
 realize that there is going to be a shortage of coal as long as the war lasts" said Mr. Russell. If we ex- pect to get through next winter with out individual suffering and without the closing of many war industries, | it will be necessary for everyone to cut down the use of coal. livery ton of coal saved now. with but slight if any discomfort to the householder, is another ton added to the huge coal, reserve that is the only protection against acute Suffering in the closing weeks of next winter There is a great saving in cook ing with gas. as a ton of coal turned into gas by the gas company has a greater fuel value than ton and a half of coal burned in the kitchen
 range. The gas range has the added advantage that, the heat may be turn ed off when not needed" It is anticipated that the Federal | fuel administrators for the northern New England states will undertake a l similar coal saving campaign wher ] the season there is a little farther ad- -Vanced.

GAS HIGHER
Increase in City Announced--Said to
 Be Temporary.

A temporary increase in the price of gas has been announced by the Norwich Gas and Electric company which will take effect June 1. The increase, according to the commits sioners, is warranted by the greatly increased cost Of labor and material used to manufacture gas which make it impossible to sell the product at the prevailing prices. The prices will be as follows:
 Up to 90,0o0 cubic feet per month $1.5O per 1000 cubic feet. The pres ent price is $125 per 1000 cubic feet.
 30000 to 15O,00O cubic feet per month, S1.30 per 1000 cubic feet for entire month used
 All over 150,00O cubic feet per month, $t.15 per 1000 cubic feet for entire month used.
