Ing.
The extensive use of motortrucks
for transportation during war time has
emphasized the possibilities of we'll
built roads as Il means of marketing
farm and other products. Solving road
problems when there was a constant
procession of heavily loaded trucks
travelling over them has been a great
lesson to road officials, which viii be

| The federal aid road-building pro-
gram for this year is the most stu

The expenditures for road reconstruction
for the year are likely to reach $780,

requirements of the law are such that
none of the trucks will be distributed

fact that shortly before the last ses-

FUEL COMMITTEE is TO
DISCONTINUE ITS
DUTIES
CRISIS is PAST
NEED FOR CEhSELESS VIGIL IS
GONE CONSERVATION, HOW.
EVER. MUST BE PRACTICED BE
FORE CONDITIONS ARE BACK
TO NORMAL.

With the loOsenng mp OF the stlin.
gent coal situation. which has gri. ped
the city for the past fifty days, Mayor
George V. 3. Weeks, chairman of the
fuel board, announced this afternoon
that beginning Monday morning, or
ders for coal could be made directly
10 the local dealers and not thru the
committee secretary. John O'kane.
The fuel board continues to act,
however. until released from the re-
aioial board. and will allot cars and
secure the fuel for local consumption.
The mayor also issued Il warning
in which he asked that everybody use
as great precautions AS possible in
using fuel during the neXt few weeks
and exercise conservation on every
hand. He stated that he thought by
everyone assuming part of the cen
servation burden. the dealers would
have no trouble in filling their or
ders. Coal Is coming into the city
slowly and part OF it is the high
priced eastern coal. To avoid having
to use much of the latter, IT VIII be
necessary TO cut down on The entire
consumption.
The close proximity o, Ottawa to
the Illinois mines made it easy to Sc
cure fuel as soon as the strike was
off. The warm weather Of the past
few days has also caused noticeable
dropping Off of orders at the central
offices of the board Dealers will
still be asked to keep a check on the
orders and report any one TO the
board who Is getting coal when they
do not need It, As long as the board
remains in control of the situation,
anyone getting fuel when they do not
need it will be reported by the driv-
ers and shut off from their further
supply.
The stopping of the ordering thru
the board will cut oui an endle's $
amount o: work for Secretary Okane
and tor the dealers also. as most peo'
pie would call coal COMPANY ana
attempt to place their orders before
they called up the board. All orders
passed thru Secretary o kane'' hands
and were personally sorted over By
the members of he board before they
were handed to tho fuel dealers.
No intimatiOn has been received
from Mayor Weeks as to how long
the local board will be called upon 10
serve before they receive their or
ders to disband; but it will probably
not be mn,i after the first OF the year.
