TRAVIS SAYS COAL
DEALERS MUST PAY

SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb. 22.-Col. R.
j Travis, city attorney, holds diff
ferent view as to the operation of the
new coal ordinance in the city from
that held by the fuel administrator,
James R. Dixon, who few days ago
made public a statement that the fee
OF ten cents for weighing should be
paid by the consumer. The city at
tcrney maintains that the fee costs
should be paid by the dealers them
selves, in view of the fact that from
tomorrow, when the public scales will
be used for the first time, the sellers
of coal in Savannah will be relieved
of the burden of weighing the prod
uct before it is loaded in delivery
wagons The city attorney says that
inasmuch as the dealers are relieved
OF the expense of maintaining scales
they should pay the fee.
