Favorable weather and large re-
nous coal has relieved heretofore err
listing conditions so much in Rich-
mond that the local fuel administra-
tor says he will proceed within the
next few days to arrange to withdraw
the present rules concerning the pur-
chase of coal.
The bins Of coal merchants are
filled once again and a supply is ar
irving daily Consumers are having
no trouble in obtaining an order OF
coal at this time either. The rules
requiring a pledge to be signed by
the consumer when ordering. stating
that he did not have more than
three-days' supply nor did he have
equipment for soft coal burning in his
home, have worked very we'll and the
administrator is thoroughly satisfied
with the operation OF them by all con-
cerned
Since conditions have practically
resumed their old status and the rules
have worked very well, the fuel adj
ministrator considers the time oppor-
tune FOR the repeal of the rules.
