Be Tolerated. e.

The new regulations established
by the United States fuel admins
tration are now in effect in Rock
Island.
The regulations provide that the
supply Of coal be carefully distrib-
uted in each community. Early
buying of the winters coal supply
is urged, but under no circum-
stances will boarding of coal be
tolerated. Each consumer must
estimate his supply for the coming
winter by the amount of fuel he
used last winter.
The new regulations mean net
reduction of 10 cents a ton to the
consumer on anthracite coal. There
will be no reduction on soft coal,
as the prices in effect here now
come within the figures stipulated
by the fuel board. The best grade
Of soft coal can be purchased for
S6.40 a ton, in two-ton lots or more
II. A. Clevenstine, local fuel admin
istrator, has notified the various
local retail dealers and each of
them was provided with a copy of
the new regulations.
Appended is the new fuel regula-
tons, which have been in effect
since Monday:
The following regulations have
been established by the United
States fuel administration:

chase, receive, or otherwise take
possession of, more coal or coke

necessary requirements prior to

already has a quantity on hand he
shall receive only such additional
amount as shall make up the actual
and necessary requirements prior
to that date.

domestic consumer of coal or coke
with more coal or coke before
March 81, 1919, than is necessary,
with the amount already on hand,
to meet the actual and necessary
requirements of such consumer
prior to that date"
It is expected that dealers will
order from former sources and con-
hections, as is the policy. as far as
pra cticable, to distribute coal
through the same channels as are
already established.

borhood to another and occupying
a house which has hitherto been
regularly heated by means of a
permanent anthracite equipment

visions Of this order, the difference
shall be settled by decision of the
local fuel administration commit
tee.
