Dealers Say Fuel Is
High Priced And Scarce

Local fuel dealers claim hat they
expect GOA and wood to be even
more ire this fall and winter than
last year, and they assert that in the
case of almost every kind Of fuel, the
increase in price will amount to APP
p~roxiniately 25 per cent.
The local dealers received reports
that the supply of Goa at the head
of the lakes. is very limited, and that
while there is a little more hard coal
on hand than there was last year, the
supply of soft coal is about one-third
less. Conditions existiEr tend to
make the shipment of :" from east
crn centers very unsa;is 4etory. it is
said, and the p~roba bility is that it will
be necessary to use a much greater
tonnage of Ignite coal than in for
mer years.
Ali of the dealers here agree, how
ever, that while the situation is seri-
GUS, they do not believe there is any
cause for worry, as this district has
always been supplied in the past. and
very likely will be again this year.
