It advocated as means of pre- venting such suffering in New Haven during this winter that the city open coal stations, as 1t did ice stations last summer, and supply coal in bags as close to actual cost as possible. It also recommended that other cities in the state follow the same course.
 In New Haven the special com mittee of the board of aldermen, which was appointed long time ago by the mayor to investigate the matter, held a public meeting to consider the subject, Wednes- Aday evening, and much evidence was introduced to show the i'm perative necessity for some means to give relief. The city selling plan was urged by a number of persons who have collected most convincing information bearing on the question.
 One firm, the Sheahan & Cronin Company, which by the way, was the first to voluntarily offer CO., operation in the uniOnizing of it's drivers, offered. to sell the city 1000 tons for this purpose at the same price the wholesalers would charge,
 It is understood that the com mittee does not expect to recom- mend in it's report that the city should go into the coal business but to underWrite large supply of coal if necessary so that those who buy in small quantities could purchase it at prevailing store and coal yard prices in the event of shortage.
 That is all right so far as in suring a supply is concerned but falls far short of the requirements of the situation if no price Iimita- tiOn should be set by the fuel ad- ministrator for there have been instances in past winters where the buyer by the bag has been most unmercifully gouged by conscienceless dealers.
