All Restrictions to Conserve
Fuel Are
Lifted
GRATIF1ED AT NEWS
Telegram From Regional Coal Com
mittee, Atlanta. to f. A. Feldtkeller
Directs Ban be Lifted

All lighting restrictions in the
southern region, which embraces
this city, are removed The fore
going telegram today was received
by Edgar A. Feldtkeller, general
superintendent Of the Alexandria
County Lighting Company.
This telegram was received from
the Regional Coal Committee, At
lanta, Ga.
Alexandria merchants may, there
fore, use all the display and store
lights in general from now on with
out any restrictions whatsoever.
News Of the lifting Of the ban on
window lighting was received today
with general qualification by all of
the merchants.
This city, however, was not seri-
ously effected by the affair, mas
much as the restrictions were only
in operation for two nights, last
Thursday and Friday.
On Saturday night the ban was
lifted, and King street, the main
business thoroughfare Of the city,
again was ab!aze with lights.
The order for Saturday, however.
was not the final order, lights being
allowed Saturday nights during the
holiday season
In view Of the approaching holi-
day season the merchants are very
well pleased over the order as prac-
tically all of the stores are open
evenings until Christmas time and
the cutting off of their window
lights proved serious drawback to
their business.
