Storrow. The imperative need of
the most drastic conservation of hard
coal In household use Is emphasized
by the fact that in practically every
instance the fuel administration has
been compelled to ailot less than the
estimated minimum requirements Of
the local fuel committees. As 150.-
900 tons, approximately of the Mass
achuSetts share will be required by
gas companies and war industries, the
supply left for strictly domestic con-
this year in this state will
be little over 6.220,000 tons"
