On this decline in new buildings the
report says:
This shows that in the years 1913
to 1916, inclusive, only sufficient new
apartments were provided for the
normal increase in population and in
1917 for only 30 per cent of the normal
increase.
BASED on these figures, for the first
half of 1918 less than rs per cent Of
the housing facilities necessary to
meet the normal growth of population
are now being constructed. This state

w cided on the zone system Of
apportioning and distributing coal it
got its feet on solid ground I'D began
10 emerge from the morass of the hit
and-miss, opportunistic, non-policy that
marked its formative days. The zone
system is simplicity itself and common
sense. 1t consists of nothing but treat
ing the principal mining districts of
the country as so many national coal
bins and assigning to each a certain
volume of consumption in certain
definite territory.
The zone system not only clarifies
the relations between production and
consumption but it does away with the
absurd transportation waste Of hauling
coal into a given district at the same
time that coal is being hauled out of it,
thus using two trains to do the work
of one.
Applies to Soft Coal
1t applies only to bituminous coal,
but it incidentally regulates the dis
trbuton of anthracite, too, because al
most everywhere, except in the North
eastern section, naturally tributary to
the limited anthracite fields in Penn
sylvania, the consuming districts that
use both anthracite and bituminous
have been assigned an increased per-
centage of the latter and get CORE
spondingly smaller percentage of an
thracite, leaving more anthracite for
the Northeast.
New York, for instance, gets 1885,
600 tons of domestic use size of an
thracite this year, as against 14,200,-
600 tons last year, and all the steam
sizes the railways can haul. Twenty
