Saturday evening when The State

of few dark signs, looked as flashy

Petition North Shawnee Highway.

A group of farmers living on the
Kiro road, headed by Sen. W. F.
Schoch and H. S. Putney, called on the
county commissioners today to insist
upon that body putting in a gravel
road from the brick yard north to the
county line, a distance of ten miles.
The request was taken under advise
ment by the commissioners.
Federal aid was asked for this road
and at one time it was planned to
hard surface it. Federal aid was re-
fused. the commissioners stated. and
now the farmers desire a gravel road
to be paid for by a benefit district and
by the county at large.
A. A. Rodgers. chairman of the
board, stated that there are a number
of hard surfaced roads under construc-
tion at this time and that with the city
taxes going higher every year. it be-
hooved him as a representative OF
the. city on the board. to hesitate be-
fore considering any more road prof.
ects for a time.

NO COAL TO MILLS
Fuel Director Explains Policy
in Wire to Mitchell.
Latter Asks Topekans To Make
Every Conservation Effort.

Lights must be turned out when not
In use, radiators must be watched
with care, and every thing possibfe
must be done to conserve the city's
1uel supply if Topeka is not to suffer
in the present coal crisis, assording to
short talk before the Chamber of
Commerce by Charles L. Mitchell this
noon
Mitchell plead that every business
man and housewife watch carefully to
see that no lights not needed were left
burning; to see that radiators are
turned off when the heat is not need
ed' and to carefully consider each coal
shoVeI rulI of fuel before it enters the
furnace doors.
Mitchell stated that a wire has been
received from the regional fuel direc-
Tor setting forth the policy of the ad-
mlnlstration as being against the
metlng out coal to flour mills, plan
ing mills, and industrial plants not
closely connected with the vital neces-
SUES OF life. City industrial plans,
electric light companies, creamery and
1ood storage companies and the like
are to be, given the preference-but
only when such Industries are able to
show that they are entirely out of
fuel.
Eighteen Cars in Topeka.
Marshall said that altho there are
eighteen carloads of steam coal in To-
peka at this time. the Edison company
which furnishes light for the entire
city and heat for the major portion of
tie business section, is unable to OBJ
tain a single carload until the surplus
storage supply in its yards is used up.
After a conference with F. c. Fox,
general manager of the Santa Fe, this
morning, Mitchell said that the rail-
roads as a rule have not confiscated
coal in transit, but have in almost
every case sent it to the original con-
signees when the. situation demanded.
Mitchell ASSERTED that the Santa Fe
fnEtead of confiscating coal has on
two or three occasions diverted some
of it, own engine fuel to municipan-
ties where the situation was tense and
that it has also turned some of its coal
over to private dealers for disposal to
individual consumers.
Mitchell asserted that the situation
in Topeka is the most serious in years
and pleaded that every person CO.
operate toward the saving of every sin
gle crumb of the fuel.

of the re-opening of a big central food
