Not one pound Of anthracite coal has
been shipped to Burlington since Labor
Day when the miners in the hard coal
region went on vacation" AS a re-
suit there is hardly any stove coal In
Burlington and very little of any other
size. IT was estimated yesterday by a
, coal man that there was in the vicinity
of 1000 tons of all sizes of hard coal
in town. The estimated amount which
o will be needed to keep the people OF
, Burlington warm during an average
/, winter ia 10000 tons. This amount is
g needed, according to the coal men, in
T. addition to that which has already
a been stored in cellars. More people have
8 nut In their winters supply of coal
: than ever before In the history of the
h city. but unless coal begins to arrive
= pretty soon there will be hard time
@ keeping warm in some quarters.
