DENVER IN THE COAL BUSINESS

Last August local coal dealers advised
Denver citizens TO expect an advance in coal
prices. because of labor scarcity and poor
transportation facilities. Immediately there
after. upon the Mayors suggestion, the city
Council passed a sweeping ordinance author
izing him TO utilize all powers Of the city
necessary to relieve widespread and general
distress caused by the increased cost of
living.
Mayor speer ordered an investigation by
the Municipal Industrial Bureau the only
department of its kind in America Mr.
George A. Levy. formerly chief of efficiency
standards in Pittsburgh. was sent into the
Ignite coal fields and closed contracts for
three mines
The operators had threatened an advance
In the price Of Ignite from $3.50 to IS a ton
but the citys action effectualy stopped this
talk. At first the dealers showed fight, but
quickly realizing the futility and the danger
Of combating the municipality, they changed
tactics and volunteered TO supply $4,000 tons
at the city's contract price in the event the
municipal supply proved inadequate.
ON September Is the city opened its Office
in city hall, selling selected lump to citizens
at $415 the ten. delivered in the bin, the
retail price of the dealers on the same coal
being So and $3.50 a ton.
Production from the cty's mines opened at
oOV IONS udy, nut soon advanced to 1OOO
tons, very important factor In the total
consumption In Denver In addition, the citv
supplies city buildings and institutions with
a run OF mine and slack at a cost of 81 per
ton below that previously paid to dealers.
This means a saving to the taxpayers of
$4,000 to $4,000 year.
Purely an emergency feature is the sale OF
sacked coal to the very poor or the man
caught unawares by cold snap Citizens
may buy fifty or 100 pounds of coal AT fen
to twenty cents, respectively, either at the
municipal lodging or bath house This coal
is sold at less than cost and the purchaser
must remove it, To secure, sacked coal Of
the same grade from the retailer he must
pay at the rate OF $40 q ton.
Denver's citizens have accepted the munic.
pal coal service with universal enthusiasm

CARRYING GOALS
TO--THE POOR
Some Quaint Old Funds Admins
tered by the Board of
City Trusts

MIR CHRISTOPHER MORLEY, poet
A'1 novelist and potential philanthropist
stokes his own furnace in the cellar of the
comfortable cot in the town of Wyncote
which shelters him and his wife and baby.
Even when he is SO engaged--perhap we
should have said "becduse he is SO engaged"
his warm young heart is often infiamed
with the desire to help less fortunate fellow
mortals.
So it happened, when he came up out of
the cellar on Sunday morning, he sat down
and wrote this letter:
TO the Editor Of the EreniHO Public Ledger.
Sir-May / venture to call your atten-
tion to a passage in the last will and testa-
ment of Mr.. Izaak Walton. angler, dated
August .. 1888? II seems Interesting iust

pie that shall most need them in the

or in every first weeke in February: | say
then. because take that time to be the
hardest and most pinching times with Door
people; and God reward, those that shall
do this without partiality and with hon
esty and a good conscience"
often think of this generosity OF the
angler when am stoking my furnace, and
it occurs 10 me that others may be inter-
ested by 1t. Let II be suggestion for
men of substance who are making their
wills. CHRISTOPHER MORLEY.
Wyncote, Pa. January 13.
When old Izaak Walton, in 1853, gave to
the world The Compeat Angler, or the
Contemplative Mans Recreation he was
pleased further 10 describe it as a discourse
mot unworthy the perusal Of most anglers 4"
Mr.. Morley's letter Is not unworthy the peru
sal and contemplation of most stokers of
home furnaces who may later find themselves
in a position 10 remember the poor in their
wills.
That sort of thing was more often in the
minds of Philadelphans philanthropcaly in
clined years ago than now seems to be the
case, and OF the dozen or more fuel funds
administered by the board of directors of
City Trusts only one or two were established
within the last half century. Under the terms
prescribed for the distribution OF fuel from
these various funds the Board of City Trusts,
during the year just passed, disposed of 1881 "
tons of coal at cost of $s943.S0, But If this
should come as news to some frantic house
holder. who, having exhausted all other
means of replenshing depleted bins. sees in
IL a sudden gimmer of hope, let him as
quickly forget IL.
The Board of City Trusts has had its
own troubles to get coal to care for the
very poor this year. and its Gard index files
are full of the applications Of worthy folk
for whom they have been unable to provide
Among these minor trusts OF the city there
are fourteen listed as fuel funds" and OF
these the most considerable Is the Thomas
d. Grover fund, but its operation is con-
stricted.
