COAL SHORTAGE
BRAvE[Y FACED
With Continued Moderate
Weather Situation Regard
ed As Favorable

With the sudden break in the
weather. the coal situation became
quickly more possible of solution
So far, real fuel needs have been met
as rapidly as they arose with but few
exceptions and confidence is ex-
pressed that it will be possible 10
meet all reasonable demands in the
future unless the weather man should
go on another rampage and increase
normal consumption by materially de-
creasing the temperature.
Last Thursday evening. in compli-
Eance with state wide movement at
the request of Governor D. w. Davis,
the city council, in special session
appointed Walter Criffiths as city
fuel administrator, Mr.. Criffiths i'm

office at the city hall to receive ap-
plications for coal.

Thus far all requests have been sup
piled although some persons were
compelled to accept slack for ordi-
nary uses. Several cars Of coal ar
rived early in the week and was dis
posed Of at rate Of 500 pounds to
the order. Statements were included
with every order as to the amount OF
coal the purchaser had on hand and
the amount normally used. In no case
was coal sent out where anything ap-
preaching an adequate supply existed,
"Wednesday car arrived and four
others were expected this week.
Shipments ordered by coal dealers
which are anticipated are listed with
the fuel administrator and purchasers
are informed as to where they shall
get their coal.
So far. no actual suffering has been
reported but a number Of families are
reported to have been unusually short

amounts Of wood. received this week,
were distributed in the absence OF
coal to supply urgent requirements.
Cold Weather Bad.
While the situation is temporarily
wellsin hand, apprehension is felt re-
garding the future should not the
strike be settled shortly and normal
production resumed. Few business
houses and fewer families are equip
ped with sufficient coal to last long

have coal are, almost without ex-
ception, entering the true spirit Of
cooperation, and using every possible
means to conserve it. Families whose
