A second supplement given out last
night from the regional committee
modifies certain of the other rules and
regulations heretofore promulgated
This supplement says:
THE regional coal committee hereby
makes effective at once the following
supplement to fuel observation regu-
lations issued on November 20 and
referred to in our pix wire B-50o.. This
supplement cancels and supecedes
mary of interpretations issued by the
committee on December 2, IN our wire
B-501.
Evidence has been placed before
the southern regional coal committee
showing tht in certain cities and towns
of the region there are public utilities
and private industrial plants which
manufacture or use exclusively hydro
electric power and whose operations
therefore do not evolve consumption
of coal. wood or gas. Where such a
situation exists it is recognized that
application of present restrictions de-
signed to reduce fuel consumption
would work unnecessary hardships
upon plants. employees and communi-
ties, therefore this committee gives
notice that Industries, stores and
business houses dependent exclusively
Upon hydro electric current in the
generation of which no coal, wood or
gas is consumed, may open or operate
out of the hours fixed in the fuel con-
servation regulations, provided, that no
coal, wood or gas, or heat, lights or
power generated by coal. wood. or
gas, are used during such additional
hours.
The regulations as previously an
nounced continue to fully apply at
! consumers of electric current supplied
consuming coal, wood or gas, or which
obtain current from other Utilities
using coal, wood, or gas. Public and
private utilities are depended upon
| by the committee to give to the mayor
or other chief officers of communities

corning the character of power gener-
