1t is important to note that in order
to encourage early buying of coal q
reduction will be made in the cost OF
anthracite beginning April 1, 1918 In
place of the method of reduction
adopted in former years Consisting
Of fifty cents ton during April, forty
cents during May, thirty cents during
June, twenty cents during July and
ten cents during August, an average
reduction of thirty cents ton will be
made which will hold good on all coal
purchased from April 1 to September
l. 1t is felt that this reduction will be
fairer to the public, inasmuch as coal
is expected to be ordered in April in
such quantities that it will prove i'm
possible to make all deliveries during
that month or for some time there
after. Under a sliding scale of reduc-
lions it would be difficult, if not i'm
possible, to treat all consumers equal
ly, even though their orders had been
filed upon the same date, while with
an average reduction extending over
the entire period, all consumers are
treated alike.
