COAL SITUATION IS
 IMPROVING SLOWLY
Many Complaints Still Con- ing to Fuel Board From
 Citizens and Dealers

Notwithstanding the fact that quite number of cars of coal are being re- ceived in the city since the congestion of the railrsst traffic has been relieved, there are still large number of complaints made to the fuel board by persons ready. willing andmable to buy who are unable to secure coal at any price, and in many instances much suffering is alleged
 According to Secretary Duncan of the fuel board. the general situation locally is improving, and with the steadily increasing supply or coal com ing into the city it is thought the shortage of fuel will soon be over
 In the meantime retail dealers are appearing before the board stating that they have no coal on their yards and that many residents in the sec tion of the city near them were en- tirely without fuel MT. Duncan in formed the dealers that the board had no coal in sight but if they could To- cate any fuel that could be confis- cated. the board would commander 1t and turn it over to them.
 The fuel board will meet this morn lns at 10 o'clock in room 334 Brown Marx building and action toward get ting coal to the sections of the city where It is most needed will be taken
