LET CITY CUT WOOD
c. c. Nicholson Suggests Plan for Re

Cutting down dead and undesirab BILE

poTarily relieving the fuel situation
was suggested today by c. C. NIchol-
son, of the lumber firm Of Gillette &,
Nicholson
While probably the greatest need
is for steam coal. the present cold
wave has cleaned out the coal bins of
large number of Topeka homes.
The city. by putting force Of men at
sirable trees and chopping them into
stoyewood. could accomplish the
double good of getting rid of the trees
and placing supply of wood on the
marlet7 MIR Nicholson pointed out.
The city commission. he suggested.
could sell the wood for the cost of
cutting At the present time several
Individuals are engag ged in cutting and
hauling wood from the country but as
a rule the price of the fuel thus OBJ
tanned is higher than coal and beyond
the reach OF needy families. There
are scores of persons in the city who
would be glad to get rid of certain
trees if taken off their hands with
out cost, Nicholson believes.
Huge quantities of drift wood along
the kaw river might also be seized
by the city for distribution among
residences at the cost of production.

obtained in this way might not be
sufficient to last a great length of
time, it would undoubtedly help to
save the mea ger coal supply and per-
haps prevent serious suffering in
many Topeka homes.
Many local industries are facing an
inevitable shutdown in a few days un-
less relief comes. The coal seized by
the railroads shortly after the national
miners strike was declared is prac-
