THE COAL SITUATION

The city council met last Mon
day night and owing TO the serious
ness of the coal shortage, they in
vited the business men of the town
TO meet with them for the purpose
Of hearing suggestions or advice as
to how best to meet the conditions.
During the meeting there wns
some divergence Of opinion as to
where an economy could best be
effected, without material damage
to the industries of the town.
All present were agreed however
that the conditions were serious and
that every effort should be made
by users of electric current to econo
mize wherever possible.
After the meeting the council went
into session and appointed II.
Sutherland ms Fuel Administrator to
have general supervision Of dealers
and purchasers Of coal. The mp.
pointment of Mr. Sutherland should
meet with the approval of every
one concerned. His long residence
fits him to perform the exacting du-
ties Of this position with fairness to
all.
An tbnt is required of the public
is n just regard for the nature of
the emergency and nm honest desire
to cooperate in every way possible.
Mr. q. W. Garland has wired the
Fuel administrator Mt Chicago the
needs of the community for fuel and
he has replied that application
should be filed with the local Bur
lingion agent and this has been
attended too.
