OF Pittsburgh can be done by all fuel
users in the twenty-four states not

The War Department estimates that

coke and wood, This idea has been
generally accepted BY an state and
city fuel administrators where it Is
found that a community's location
naturally lends itself to such saving
Of anthracite.
When the anthracite committee Of
the fuel administration announced the
1888 coal year allotment figures of
64.345.1S5 tons of domestic sizes for
twenty-four states and Canada, which
included railroad supplies. miscel-
