have not been formulated the federal
fuel department at Washington is con-
sidering launching campaign during
the late spring and early summer for
the summer storing Of coal.
Governor Harding heard something
Of the plans on his recent visit : 70
Washington and Fuel Administrator
Charles Webster has also heard Of it
unofficially.
Fuel conditions will be worse next
winter instead of better unless sons
way is found for increased production
and more prompt and general distri-
button. This is the opinion of Federal
Fuel Administrator Webster.
Even II the war should end before
next winter coal will be scarce and
hard to get year from now" said Ad-
ministrator Webster in discussing the
prospects. "Plans should be made now
to relieve conditions as much as pos.
sible."
AS to storing, coal, however, there are
many difficulties in the way of this.
There are many, many householdelS
who have no place to store coal in any
quantity whatever. Even many Of the
dealers do not have the storage capa-
city for any Great amount of fuel.
1t takes ready money to buy coal
and dealers and operators are as insis-
tant for cash in the summer months
when they put in the next winter SUP
ply as they are in the winter months.
II dealers store a lot OF coal they have
to pay for it in cash and then wait
two or three months or more before
they can get in any money on this
supply. Many householders are not
able to pay $50 to $50 in cash for their
coal supply and hold the coal at the
risk of it's Stacking or catching on fire.
The state fuel administration has TO
ceived word from various places over
the state where coal which had been
stored had caught fire from spontan-
eous combustion. This is one Of the
troubles to contend with in storing
coal. II the coal Is dry when it is put
in, Is stored in a dry place and is
mostly lump, with very little dust, the
chances are it can be stored safely. But
then it il very apt to slack. more or
less.
These are some Of the problems
which must be worked out before an
extensive campaign for summer buying
can be launched, fuel administrators
point out. Improved transportation
facilities will be q big help.
