 The two car loads of coal which were conflscated Monday by the city authorities acting under an order issued by Fuel Administration Com mittee composed of County Judge A. k. Wear and John H. Hamilton. were spotted" late Monday evening on the siding east of the depot In meantime Mayor Smith had booked over sixty orders, averaging about a ton each.
 The delivery of the coal was be- gun Tuesday morning under direc- ton of Henry Christy, who in ad- dltlon to using his own team, was assisted by W. J. Tucker, John Burnett, Cap Cannon, Jasper Mid dleton, Joe Emerson, Oscar Afford and J. NJ. Bass, each with a team and with this force at work most of the urgent orders were likely supplied
 The coal is being weighed on the scales of Moseley X Sons, who have donated the use of the same for this purpose. The price finally fixed by the Fuel Administration Committed IS S8 per ton. which is slightly in advance of what coal has been sell ing at for the reason that an al- loWance of 80 cents per ton was made to compensate for the added difficulty in making the deliveries on account Of the heavy snow.
