COAL ALLOTMENT FOR DELAWARE

The Anthracite Distributing Company
1 Of the U. S. Fuel Administration recent.
! ly announced the allotment Of anthracite
! coal to Delaware for the coming year.
These figures were the subject Of a dis
cussiOn at a meeting Of the Delaware
State Organization Of the Fuel Admins
tration. held in the dupont Building on
Friday Of last week, and the State Board
authorized the appended statement is
sued for the information of the public.
These are the first figures or statistics
which have been issued by the State
Board. and contain some interesting in
formation regarding the coal situation
last winter:
THE figures as compiled by the An
thracite Committee show that in the fis-
cal coal year 1861, there were shipped
223, SOB tons Of domestic sizes to Della
ware. and in proportion to the estimated
production Of anthracite coal for this
year. they have allotted to this state an
increase Of 10 per cent over these fig
ures. namely, 245. .S53 tons, which, in the
opinion Of the State Board, is not suffi-
cient TO care for the necessary demands.
unless some restrictions are put upon
certain classes Of consumers.
In presenting our figures to the An
thracite Distributing Committee Of what
we believed were the minimum quanti-
ties necessary. we asked for 267, ,906 tons
Of domestic sizes, making a difference be
tween this amount and that which was
allotted to US Of 22.O53 tons, which
means an absolute shortage even If we
were to receive every ton that has been
allotted.
This shortage will be felt more keeniy
in Wilmington and the territory adjacent
thereto, owing to the abnormal popula-
tion incident to the war industries 10
Gated in this section. As an illustration
Of this increased demand It may be stat
ed that wilmington received in the fiscal |
year 1851. an approximately normal |
year, 14O,S31 tons Of domestic sizes. |
while in the year 1917-1S It received 49,
$50 tons. Although Increased population |
does not necessarily mean increased coal
yet we have confronting
US the fact Of an abnormal number Of
new homes to be erected in Wilmington
this year by the United States Govern
ment and individual enterprises, amount
Ing to at least 1000 houses, which does
not require much explanation to con-
vince anyone Of an increased consump-
tion.
AS this shortage represents about 8
per cent Of the estimated requirements OF
his state, 1t is therefore necessary to
Milford chronicle., 1918-06-14

look to the use Of bituminous coal to
take its place: and as il is the desire Of
/ Washington as well as ourselves tha;
I domestic consumption should have at all
/ times first call upon anthracite coal, We
believe that if all factories. public build
I ings and stores which have been accus-
toned 10 using anthracite coal will,
wherever possible, change to bitumlnous
coal. that the needs Of domestic con-
sumers can be met, providing that We
receive the entire tonnage as allotted.
The people Of Delaware must bear IN
mind that these are war times, and that
the eastern section Of the country IS
bound to feel the effect Of the war more
forcibly' owing to the vast number Of
war industry plants located in this Sec
ton. thereby creating a transportation
condition which is almost impossible for
the railroads to overcome.
In order that domestic consumers can
have the first preference to the available
anthracite coal supply, It was deemed
wise that every dealer within the state
be notified that no orders Of domestic
sizes Of anthracite coal for factories
t-'~ |@4Aetilias VI SUITES r4lVAAA ~ ---
until such times as all domestic orders
have been cared for, and no deviation
from this order viii be permitted, unless
permission first is obtained from the
member Of the state board for the dis
trict.
1T has been brought to the attention
OF the board that dealers are being de-
layed In the delivery Of their orders nu-
merically, due to the scarcity OF stove
size, which condition is caused by the
vast quantities Of this size coal which is
used by the government at the various
army camps and cantonments. There
FORE It becomes necessary that consum'
ers will have to accept other sizes, prin-
cipally egg coal, which can be used IN
most instances, without any inconven-
ience.
This same condition applies somewhat
to the chestnut size. and the COMMITTEES
feels that the public win not only be
aiding the dealer to make deliveries IN
the order in which they are placed, but
VIII assist the government as well BY
accepting, when necessary, that size
which next best suits their needs, rather
than insisting upon a particular size.

TURPENTINE and

WAR BOARD SAYS THE YARE OF
WAR NECESSITIES

WASHINGTON, June 28.-Rapid ad.
vances in the prices of rosin and tur-
Lentine and a general disturbance in
the trade has been caused by the ru-
NOR that the government would de-
clare their production as nOn-essential
industry.
The war industries board announced
today undertaking that no such danger
existed, that a large proportion of
these products are needed for war re-
quirements.
| TIE board said that no steps will be
! taken to hamper the production of the
needed supply of the commodities men
tioned.

SUB CHASERS OFTEN HAVE
TO CHASE LIQUOR BOATS

ATLANTA, June 27-Members of
the legislature from Chatham and ad-
Joining counties when "joshingly" ask
ed by their fellow lawmakers concern
ing the status the supply of blind
tiger liquor in Savannah have replied
with the information that the supply
is plentiful OF scarce in direct relation
to the activity of the submarine chas-
ers in chasing submarines or chasing
liquor boats.
When the submarine chasers are
chasing liquor boats, it seems, the
|liauor boats manage to run the block
ade and furnish a reasonable adequate
supply of blind tiger liquor for abso-
lutte necessities in case of sickness,
snake bite, etc, but when the subma-
rir.,a chasers are chasing liquor boats
the supply runs very low annd man
finds it very hard to get for any kind
of price.
Hence it has been suggested that
perhaps the appearance of German sub
mardinas off the American coast,
which makes necessary for the subma-
rnie chasers to devote their atten-
ton to submarines exclusively, may
bring some relief to the parchnig citi-
zens in Georgia coast towns.
