City Won't Buy Coal on an
Open Contract.
Dealers Claim They Can Sell
All They Can Get.

All bids on a contract for supplying
the city with its winter requirements
of coal were rejected this morning by
the city commissioners. Topeka is
now on the open market for it's fuel
Dealers were willing to enter into a
contract to supply coal at a certain
price. but insisted upon reservations
permitting them to raise in case the
cost of production increased before
the contracts was fulfilled. Wilbur
Stanfield. commissioner of lights and
water, moved that the bids be rejected
and the motion carried without a dis
senting voice.
Coal men present pointed out that
they had never failed to fulfill their
contracts and that they would do SO
even if their individual production was
stopped. But they would not guaran-
tee against a raise in wages or other
conditions tending to increase the pro-
ductive costs.
One dealer declared he could easily
dispose of every pound of coal he
could obtain this winter, and sought
the contract merely for the sake of
having a reliable market thruout the
year. Bids were submitted by five To-
cal and two Kansas City concerns
Prices were all the same And each
company insisted upon the reserva-
