ADMINISTRATORS
SETFUELPR|CES
State and County Heads Meet
to Determine on De-
tails for Price.

The meeting of State Fuel Admin
lstrator r. c. Jenkinson and Middle
sex County Fuel Administrator Rus
sci h. Watson was not held in Newark
Saturday as scheduled, but in New
Brunswick. What took place at the
meeting could not be learned this
morning, as City Fuel Administrator
Oliver w. Ramsay said that it would
be given out tomorrow in the form of
a written statement from the office of
the state administrator
1t is known that the meeting was
held to fix the price of coal in Mid
dlesex county, which will be the fore
runner of fixing the price of fuel
throughout the entire state. The an
nouncement of the uniform price will
be made known as soon as the state
administrator can arrange the details
The price will vary a little in sew
eral counties because of the freight
charges; in other words Mr.. Jenkin-
son will set uniform price for the
coal and the freight charge will be
considered extra. This will mean that
coal may cost a little more in one
county than another because of the
greater distance from the mines.
The first announcement of retail
prices was made Saturday, in Passaic
Until September /, consumers will
pay the following prices: Broken size,
1885; stove and chestnut, $500; egg.
1895; pea. $6.7O.
City Fuel Administrator Ramsay
stated this morning that only one
third of the amount of coal required
by person for winter use would be
delivered at this time if that amount
was over six tons. If six tons or less,
the full amount of coal will be deliv-
cred at once.
In an interview to the press, Mr..
Jenkinson, the state fuel administra-
tor is reported to have emphasized
the fact that consumers of coal in
amounts over six tons will not be al
lowed to receive more than one-third
of their normal supply at a time, in &C
vordance with his regulations This is
to prevent "hogging' evidences of
which have been frequent lately.

City Continues Opposition
to Gas Rate Application

The adjourned hearing of the Perth
Amboy Gas Light Company's request
for permission to increase its rates
was continued today before Public
Utility Commissioners Wright and
Slocum at Newark. City Attorney Leo
Goldbcrgcr represented Perth Amboy
in opposition to the granting of this
application and J. II, Thayer Martin
represents the Woodbridge opposi-
ton. Judge c. c. Hommann, of this
city, is representing the gas company
in the case.
The gas company asks for permis-
sion to increase its rates ten cents per
thousand cubic feet owing to the in
creased cost of production. In op-
posing this application Attorney
Goldberger has pointed out that the
application does not define the action
as temporary but as a permanent
price fixing, which will mean that the
price Of gas will remain high even
after conditions have become better.
