COAL ORDER slAkDS
Supply 10 Sc Limited to Half Ton as
befOre--NO Dumping on the
Sidewalks

The blue Monday closing order OF
January 18th has now been definitely
and officially suspended At 4.35 T.
NJ yesterday a telegram was rGceiv-
ed by Mr. Walter ii. Hart, the local
fuel administrator. from DR. Garfield
as follows:
I'm view of the Improvement in
weather and transportation conditions
and results already obtained. until
further notice the provisions of the
Monday closing order of January 18th
are suspended in Maryland"
Mr. Hart said this morning that he
was mighty glad to be rid Of the
order, as il worked out foolishly and
caused great and unnecessary incon-
venience," lie also said that he had
only found il necessary to report two
local stores to Washington. and that
he had not made up his mind yet as
to whether he would press for prose
cution or not The one case being Il
druggist who Illegally sold a tooth
brush and tooth powder and other
articles. while the other case is where
a coal and wood firm illegally sold
some nails and a saw and other arti-
cles on one of the closed Mondays.
when neither firm had any right to
sell any Of said articles The penalty
is a one thousand dollar fine, with or
without Imprisonment
Mr.. Hart also said that he appreci-
ated the help that he had received
from the Mayor and from the Police
hA 4
their help to that of two detectives
who were offered 10 him by the Fed
eral Fuel Administrator When ask
ed about the half-ton limit order, Mr.
Hart said:
For the present the order must
stand, and il must also be strictly OBJ
served by the local dealers, otherwise
he will regard 1t to be his duty to
the National Government TO at once
divert their supply of coal to some
other dealer who will observe the or
ders and restrictions of the Fuel Ad-
ministration Department" He also
said: Both hard and soft coal are
now coming in more freely, as the
railways are now delivery i'm or
days instead of 80 days or more, that
was the ordinary time required be-
fore the shut down took place. But in
order TO help the dealers he has
agreed for them to charge twenty-five
cents extra for hauling and delivering
each half-ton or each quarter Of
ton order, in addition to the ton rate
price that has been fixed by the Fed
eral Government; and the customers
bill should be so marked and it
should not have the extra delivery
charge included in the price of the
coal. This delivery charge means de-
livery into basement"
