For School Director,
Mrs. Lelah DeGolia ..,....

There is a very strong feeling
among our people that the city
should have better school building
than we now have. Most persons
think the plans should be for a
building to cost not less than $4,000.
1t is impossible to bond the town for
tina much because of the property
valuations not aggregating sufficient
amount to permit so many bonds
being issued by the city
There is a very strong feeling too
that Main street should be surfaced
in some manner that will prevent the
very muddy and almost impossible
condition that prevails each winter.
1t is impossible to bond the city
thta being the. plan proposed for
raising the needed funds-for suffi-
cient amount to surface Main street
and at the same time build anything
like such a school building as IS
needed Some urge that Main street
be fixed first and that the school
building be deferred until later
Others argue that since the building
now in use for schools is not only
much smaller than is needed, but is
actually dangerous, the school build
ing should receive first consideration,
principally, because of the existing
danger to the lives of the children.
An election is to be caleld within a
short time for one or both purposes.
Just how it will result, because of the |
preferences felt, IS hard to deter
mine, but it is very probable that
conditions will be Sc
cured so that the school building can
be started and Main street improv-
ed as we'll the coming year. Ger
taialy both are sorely needed.

1T is TO be noted that with the
increased activity in the demand for
coal that the operators have increas-
ed their estimate OF the capacity OF
mines and that beginning with the
week OF May 1, 1920 and excluding
Decoration Day week. the operators
have estimated the aggregate capacity
OF the mines at approximately nine
teen million tons and their loss in out
put due to car shortage is based on
this estimate OF nineteen million tons
per week capacity.
Assuming 1t were possible to pro
duce nineteen million tons per week.
the annual output for SO weeks would
be 9SS 100000 tons as against our pre-
vious high record OF 1918, viz. 579.-
100000 tons an increase OF 100000
600 tons, or slightly in excess OF 20
per cent"
II would appear. therefore, when we
hear the statement that certain mines
are getting but go per cent car sup.
ply that in reality they are getting a.
bout 100 per cent supply for their
probable average total output
Michigan depends upon other states
for its coal There is produced with
in the state about one million tons,
which is less than 10 per cent of our
requirements.
The orders of the Interstate Com
merce Commission directing consign-
ment OF coal from West Virginia, Ohio
and Kentucky (Which are the best
and most desirable source OF supply
for domestic use. to lake and public
utilities is at present having the eff
ect of curtailing shipments of domes-
tic Goals to the lower peninsula OF
Michigan.
When these orders are modified It
Is reasonable to expect liberal ship
ments from these sources. Domestic
consumers will remember the inferior
grades OF bituminous coal forced up
on them during 1917 and 1918. There
exists at the present time no such
emergency and domestic consumers
should not be required to use inferior

will produce total of 510 million
tons, which is so million tons in ex-
cess of 1919 production. The produc-
tion for July and part OF August, 1920.
is in excess OF ten million tons per
week. At this average weekly pro-
duction we would total $40 million
tons which from best estimates OBJ
tainable OF our needs would be ample.
"panicky" condition Is not warranted
II would seem therefore that the
Strikes in the coal district may cur
tail production.
There Is not, however, much danger
OF strikes at this time. The miners
are shrewd enough to know that good
wages are being paid and coal opera
tors know that big prices are being
received for their product. A still
further advance in coal prices for any
reason whatever will, as the operat-
ors know, hasten the day OF govern
ment control.
The principal reason given by coal
operators and others for the apparent
shortage OF coal is the shortage OF
cars. 1t is true there is a shortage OF
cars TO transport coal. food and in
dustrial products. There has not
been. however. the percentage OF
shortage OF coal cars as the public has
been lead to believe We quote the
following from what the commission
believes is competent authority:
During the year OF maximum pro-
duction, viz. 1918. the estimated ag-
gregate capacity of all bituminous
mines was stated by the operators to
be approximately fifteen million tons
per week. The maximum production
secured in any one week. from jan
uary 8. 1918, down to date, was 49,
2S6,00O tons. during the week ended
July 13. 1918. The average production
for the past year was only about H.,
100000 tons per week
Following the strike at the bitum-
inous mines, which affected production
during the months of November and
December 1919, and which very large
ly exhausted the reserve supply OF
consumers, there became an active
market for bituminous coal. This ac-
tivity has increased with the appli-
cation OF the railroads for an increase
in freight rates, due to a natural de-
sire on the part OF some people to
