NANTUCKET
 SUFFERS FROM
 LACK OF GOAL

Nantucket, Mass, March 2.---Nan- tucket, having burned the scrapings of its bins, is almost without coal. Fam flies are suffering for lack of fuel, with no wood available on the island and the kerosene supply nearly eX- hausted. The bins of summer resi- dents were called on to eke out scantJ stocks, but the supplies there were small and have now run low. Light, water and power, however, are as- sured for several weeks.
 The storm conditions are responsi- ble for the shortage. The islands winter supply of coal is scattered through a small fleet of schooners which have been bound here since early winter and were due to arrive in December. Instead, they sought shelter at various ports where they remain weather bound or ice bound One of these vessels, the forty-ton schooner Ada Shull, is now at New Bedford, awaiting an opportunity to slip through the ice with it's small
 cargo if an opening can be broken out.
 When the islands reserve wal
 exhausted, the coal pins of summer cottages became the only resort
 Breckenridge Long, Assistant Secre- tary of State sent word from Wash ington making his supply available and other summer residents took sirn-
 liar action. The local agents of oth- CT cottagers authorized requisition o1 their supplies.
 The island grows no wood and has had in the past few weeks only drift wood, which is scarcer than usua. because of ice on the shore. The steamer Sankaty, which buck ed the ice outside the harbor fol hours today in an effort to get cleal | on an attempted trip to New Bedford has brought only a small stock of coa on it's few trips of the winter. This
 supply has served to keep the post office and banks reasonably warm l The telephone office, however, has been unheated and operators have worked in wraps.

 Judge N. c. Downs, representing Stamford, asked that an impression the Connecticut company brief had given, that the whole population of Stamford was not against the zone system, be corrected. He asserted "glaring instances of jacked-up fares.'' He claimed that the company had taken care of some industries and had ignored others.
 Judge Alexander Amott, counsel for the town of Manchester, declared that the company did not play fair with the commission in putting the zone system in operation without putting the matter of increased fares before it.
