To Our Customers
AUGUST, 1920

Because of the car shortage during the past two months we have
been unable to obtain the necessary supply of coal under our
contract.
We were therefore obliged to choose between shutting down the
plant in the height of the summer season, or buying coal in the
open market without regard to price. We chose the latter
course, and purchased some of our coal at more than three
times the contract price.
In view of these facts the New Jersey Board of Public Utility
Commissioners have authorized an emergency ~surcharge on our
August, September and October bills of 10 per cent on lighting
and IS per cent on power. This explains the item which you
will find on your August bill. This ~surcharge is merely tempo
rary and will apply only to the bills for the three months
mentioned above.

A POSTWAR TRAGEDY.

wheeled his chair to the front window,
so that the sun could warm his body, or

DOGS EAT CHURCH.
Eskimos Find Warmth in Snow Edifce

ESklm0S FIND warmth IN SHOW 6uuCe.
One of the queerest churches eyer
known was built by a missionary 'on
Blacklead Island, in Cumberland Sound,
says the Detroit News. Finding that
the Eskimos had no place in which
they could meet for religious services,
the missionary started to build a
church of the skins of seals, no wood
being available The skins were sewn
together and stretched over "girders
of whalebone, empty provision tins
serving as seats.
The cold at one time became so Sc
we're that for many days the Eskimos
of Rlacklead Island were unable to pro-
cure food for themselves or for their
animals One night dogs made their
way. to the strange edifice and began
consuming it, with the result that when
morning came there was not a skin left,
the whalebone ribs alone remaining to
show that there had even been a
church.
Another missionary in charge of the
spiritual welfare of the Eskimo tribe
built his church entirely of snow.
Seats, pulpit, altar and in fact tho
whole Of the interior equipment, was
made of snow, and in the matter of
warmth no stone built church could
beat it.
