DETERMINE COSTS OF
LOCAL COAL DEALERS

An investigation to determine the
operating costs of Richmond coal deal
ers is now being conducted by two
accountants of the STATE board of ac-
counts having been sent here at the
request of the state fuel commission.
The accounts are seeking to deter
mine whether the 50 25 a ton margin
allowed to dealers by the state fuel
commission is sufficient in the case
of the Richmond dealers. Two local
dealers have filed cost reports with
the accountants. 1t is understood that
local dealers complain that the margin
allowed dealers by the commission is
insufficient.
Advises from Indianapolis are that
several hundred dealers throughout
the state are TO file suits Immediately
contesting the validity of the state
commissions order establishing the
$2.25 margin.
