Chamber of Commerce, was commend
ed by the fuel committee in a letter
received by the chamber from Ross

LAS the work of the Federal Fuel
Committee for Dauphin county is
finished we wish to take this oppor-
tunity to thank you for the great help
rendered by your organization during
the year and one-half this committee
has been~in existence. Without your
assistance in the early part of the
winter of 1917-191S, the condition of
the household consumer of fuel would
have been most desperate.
las you know the committee had
no appropriation made it for paying
its expense and by your financial
assistance, we We're able to establish
an Office with competent help to which
the needy householder could apply
for fuel and assistance. This work
we realize deranged very much your
normal activity, but it is our opinion
that if the Chamber of Commerce
accomplished nothing else during this
war period, it's services in this connec-
ton would have been we'll worth the
reason for it's existence.
THE people of Harrisburg fully
appreciate your efforts in their be-
