MUNICIPAL PILE
BOSTON'S. PLAN
FOR COALSALE
Mayor Peters Would Insure
Poor with Supply for
Next Winters Use.

Boston. Mass. Aug. 1-The poor
will not suffer from lack Of coal ir
this city II Mayor Peters has his
way.
He stands squareiy behind ths
movement to put Boston IN the oot
business BY estsbiishing q municipal
coal pile with q minimum Of ls.e0
tons. He has already drawn up o
centers where the poor can buy coal
In 50 or 10o-pound lots and the mayor
says he will take the mater Of getting
q supply for the municipal coal pile
to Washington before b Will havt
last winters condition exist again.
This action. according to the mayor.
will not be taken unless no satisfac-
ton can be obtained locally.
Local Fuel Administrator James J.
storTow was Of the opinion at nrst
that such an extra allotment OF coal
for this district was impossible ana
then IL was suggested by member
Of the council committee that the
supply for the municipal coal pile Be
taken from the dealers sllotments.
CesI for Poor.
There must be something done IN
the way OF getting coal for the
poor" said the mayor. 7 don't
think we. should trouble ourselves
about those people who can buy IN
ton lots or to buy low combustibls
coal until We can find out whether
we can get standard coal. have
thought that IL we can get 1000
tons. put II In bags. either to. be
distributed or sold at stations and
as near cost as possible we would
be doing a great publis service. The
whole idea Is to get the coal and
hold Il for an emergency.
''It is inconceivable TO think that
the government would not favor the.
plan Of the city Of Boston OF se-
curing q supply OF coal for fits citi-r
zens. Such q demand should re-
ceive priority over all orders for Bos-.
ton.
To Prevent Distress
Il am going through with the pro-.
ject, for I believe Il is distinctly IN
the interest Of the people. and I
want to prevent. IL possible, the dis.
tress Of last winter"
For the delivery OF coal the city
will have the help OF men and wag-
ons from the public works departs
ment, for the winter months md,
plenty OF city employees in this de-.
partment idle. It is quite probable.
a city ofncial will be appointed to-
act as coal commissioner to look
after distribution.
Although the mayor asks for a.
minimum OF 1900 tons OF coal he
states that this may have to be-
doubled. II is not the intention OF
the city to compete with local DEAL.
ers; therefore a limit Of 100 pounds
Will probably be put on all pur-i
chases.
