WARN HOUSEHOLDERS
Some Who Refuse to Accept Full
Amount of Coal Ordered
May Suffer Later.

The Wilmington Fuel Committee an
nounccd today that coal dealers had
reported that many houscholders who
had received two-thirds of their allot-
ment OF coal, were now refusing TO
receive additional consignments in ao-
cordance with their original order. The
reason assigned by those who have
admitted the truth of the matter, 1t Is
said, is because of the mild fall, they
believe they can get through the winter
without the need of any more coal
Such an action is not looked upon with
favor by the fuel committee. In state
ment issued, it announces that persons
who have ordered coal, and who have
not received their full allotment, should
not hesitate to receive I G balance OF
the order Failure TO abide by their
original request, it is stated, might re-
suit in future embarr assmcnt to the
customer.
Coal for this city was ordered in ac-
cordanco with requests made many
months ago, and the refusal OF customers
to receive their completed consignment
now might result in later requests for
coal being ignored.
