GREEDY TRUCkMEN
MULCTING PUBLIC
Charging Exorbitant Rates for
Delivering Coal to Consumers

Acting on numerous complaints re-
ceived within the past few days, the
local fuel administration will in all
probability take steps to see if some
thing can be done to curb the rapidly
increasing tendency Of local express
men to charge exhorbitant rates for
transporting coal from yards in the
city to the homes Of cOnSum erS.
Since the shortage became acute,
many local people have secured the
"black diamonds" by hiring express
men. At first this class was satisfied
to charge a fee that brought forth no
kicks but as the demand for their
services became greater, it evidently
became their determination to emu
late ''Wallingford." According to the
information in the possession of the
fuel committee, this is being done at
a rapid pace.
One of the members Of the commit
tee stated today in the absence Of
Chairman E. w. Christ, that it was
known where eXpressmen have
charged as high as $3.50 for deliver
ing a half ton of coal from the CEN
ter of the city to Webster Hill, and
for carting the same amount to Sex
ton street a sum Of 50 was assessed.
It is probable that the administra-
ton will enact some ruling to put
a stop to this bad habit.
The fuel administration has also
been notified that in several instances
these drivers have not been given a
slip from the dealer showing just
what poundage was contained in the
amount SO d. It has been the custom
Of dealers in the past to submit to
the consumer through the driver a
slip telling what each delivery
weighed, and fears are entertained in
some circles that neglecting to do so
with the express drivers may have a
tendency to encourage short weight.
Mayor Quigley has been Informed Of
this practice and he stated this after
noon that the matter will be turned
over to the sealer Of weights and
measures. In the past coal dealers
short-weighting their customers have
had the bitter experienc of facing a
court of justice for the offense A
repetition may follow if the law is not
lived I'D to.

urday, November 8, when fifty or more
cities and towns in the state will hold
patriotic parades in honor of the Uni
