This aut hor- ization would give you the privilege of waiWing the necessity of written order blanks for new orders, also ob- seryance of any written orders already placed and would also remove any al- lotment as to the amount of coal which any domestic consumer could purchase It would also allow any consumer to purchase coal from any deal who had coal.
 Tn view of the improvement of the anthracite situation it seems that it might be desirable in a number Of localities to take all restrictions off the delivery of domestic coal so as to permit dealers who are heavily stocked to dispose of some of their surplus"
