Danger Of Coal Famine
Averted, Says Garfield

Bituminous coal production and
distribution have reached such a sat
isfactory point in relation to demand
that Fuel Administrator Garfield de-
clared yesterday that he is consid-
ering abolition of all price and zone
restrictions on bituminous coal on
December Is.
Anthracite distribution remains a
problem that will require the active
attention of the Fuel Administration
for an indefinite period, he said.
Other branches will so far have COM
pleted their work by January 1 that
only a nucleus of their organiza-
tions will be necessary after that
date, DR.. Garfield said, so far as
present circumstances indicate.

TO OUR CONSUMERS;

Owing to the reduction in pressure
and depletion of our gas fields due
tothe continuous drain upon our wells,
we will not have as large an avail
able supply Of gas during the COM
ing winter as we had during the
winter of 1917 and 1918, notwith-
standing our continued efforts to in
crease the supply.
We anticipate that during periods
of extremely cold weather tho sup
ply will not be sufficient to meet all
the demands of our consumers.
This is condition confronting pract-
ically every community depending
upon natural gas for light and heat,
and is not limited 70 the comuni-
ties served by us.
II should be remembered that dur
ing the past winter, cities relying
exclusively on coal for heating psr-
poses suffered inconvenience equal
to, il not greater than those de-
pending upon gas.
As the decrease in the supply of
gas is beyond our power TO remedy.
we earnestly ask the cooperation
of all our consumers in our efforts
to diminish the Inconvenience ex-
perienced during the periods when
the supply is insufficient to meet
all demands, by providing Themselves
with supply of other fuel, and not
depend solely on natural gas during
the winter months,
