BETTER ROAD ENGINEERS M

eligibles for appointment to the office
of county road engineer. 1t is NUT re-
petition to suggest that none but
qualified men should be considered
for the job, but it is worth while to
note that now, More than ever. when
building materials are high. and
money too plentiful, labor short, and
facilities hampered. none but the best
available men should he considered
acceptable. A great many fiscal courts
with characteristic Indifference seem
to think that the qualifications of an

of them that no other impression is

regulations who is not a graduate en-

COAL RATIONING PROBABLE

The L. S. Fuel Administration has
devised a system of coal ratiuninG for
the coming winter which will secure
effective conservation. The system
may be adopted at the discretion OF
local Fuel Administrators. II would
limit domestic fuel supplies to an
amount sufficient to keep the temper
allure of rooms and building at 6S de-
grees temperature. The allowance
for each consumer will be sufficient
for comfort but the thoughtless and
wasteful consumer who finds his al
lowance gone before the end of the
winter, will have only himself to
blame if he has no fuel with which to
heat his house. Under the system in
contemplation every one will get his
err will be eliminated. This system has
worked ont in Philadelphia and found
to he an unqualified success. The i'm
portant features of the plan are:
First, a censorship of every order
for coal received by any dealer, each
order being compared with a figure
obtained by very simple yet effective
formulas showing the rating of the
house where the coal is to be used;
Second actual inspection of all
doubtful cases and checking up
through inspectors of statements
made by householders as to the coal
on hand, the space to be heated, and
the heating system employed;
Third, an effective refusal to fur
nish any householder more coal than
scientific analysis shows is neces-
/ sary if the requisite care is taken in
| the heating of the house. Under this
system surplus coal will be refused.
All consumers who have obtained a
quantity of coal in excess of their al
lotments, or who by deceit or misrep-
resentation have violated any rules
and regulations of the Fuel Admins
tration, will be prosecuted.

stated that the council had taken
steps with the proper authorities in
Washington to investigate the reason
of the delay in advices from abroad of
casualties among the troops from
Kentucky.
The purpose in view is to ascertain
if there is a reason for the delay, and
if such is the case to make the rea-
son known to the people of Kentucky
If no reason exists for such delay il
will be the endeavor of the council to
have the matter corrected.

1T Is NOW "I'P TO" OPERATORS
AND MINERS

The weekly reports of coal prOduc-
ton received by the United States
Fuel Administration show that the
railroads and ocean transportation at
the present time are within easy
reaching distance of the mine out
put. While weather conditions are
favorable for transportation by both
rail and water, maximum production
should he secured from the coal
mines. 1t is up to the operators to
see that their plants are being eflic-
iently operated and to the miner to
work full time six days weekly.
1t is the belief of the Fuel Admin
istration that there are sufficient men
now in the mines to load enough coal
to take care Of the capacity which
the railroads can conveniently handle.
Reports from some of the fields show
that the men do not average to eX-
coed over three and one-half or four
days weekly.
Now is the time for coal operators
and miners to use all their energy to
stimulate the production of coal, as it
is realized the maximum production,
can only be reached when transporta-
ton conditions are favorable and ev-
cry effort should be made to increase
the production in order to furnish
stocks of coal to the important war
industries before fall movement of the
crops add its transportation burdens.
