Salem with two convicts, will bring
the men and their loot here from the

an Indian on the reservation, today
told the police that he had lost two

General Electric Company blamed.

'Pendleton's present state of semi
darkness is due to the inability of the
Pacific Power & Light Co. to get
lamps from the General Electric Co.
DR.. F. w. Vincent, local manager for
the lighting company, said today. "Or-
ders have been placed with the Port
land office of the General Electric
company for more than 80 days for
supply of street lamps but they have
not been delivered. This is the third
time that orders placed by us have
gone untitled. II Is not a war emer-
gency that prevents the orders being
filled. 1t looks like carelessness." DR.,
Vincent said that he exhausted the
supply of 400 candle power lights on
hand replacing broken 250s and that
he now has neither size on hand.
Thus lamps which are now out of
commission cannot be replaced until
the lamps are furnished by the fac
tcIy.

Smith Street R Makes Getaway Gold Again Delays BS Police Raid Illicit Still Here
Coal Shortage Here Serious
But Not So Bdd,dS in TOwnS
Nearby; Part Orders Filled

the open winter, coal is being ship
ped to the New England. States and
to western points via water. but as
soon as these streams freeze up so
that transportation is impossible,
that coal which Is now being ship
ped to other points will come east.
4 According to some dealers. the
places that have been the hardest
hit by the present coal shortage are
those located on the Central Rail-
road of New Jersey. This probably
accounts for the acute shortage in
Matawan, Keyport, and other towns
In Niddlesex and Monmouth coun-
ties. AS this city Is located not only
on the Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey, but is also directly on the main
coal line of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road, the coal docks of this company
being located here, 1t Is likely that
this accounts for the supply that the
dealers have been able to maintain.
The companies from which the To-
cal dealers purchase fuel promise
them that each day will bring better
conditions and that a greater supply
Of coal will be available. but so far
these promises, have failed to ma :
terialize. although some of the deal
ers are of the opinion that even IL
the weather does not continue cold.
SO as to shut off shipments to other
points, that they will get larger
supply In the immediate future.
Perth Amboy evening news. [volume] (Perth Amboy, N.J.) 1903-1959, 1921-01-13

Although there is a coal shortage
in this city the coal dealers here
maintain that 1t Is nothing compared
with the shortage of fuel In neigh
boring cities and TOXINS. In order
to make the supply OF coal here go
around, orders have been cut in half
and in some cases when a ton of
coal was ordered but one-quarter Of
this amount has been delivered.
This, however, is done. the dealers
claim. so that a supply may be kept
on hand at all times and everybody
supplied. The dealers say they can
see no danger of a return to. the fuel
boxes which were used about the
city at the time of the coal shortage
during the war, when people were
given 80 many pounds of coal from
these boxes as needed.
The shortage of coal seems to be
in the various sizes instead OF the
fact that there Is no coal at all.
The dealers report that they are
able to obtain pea and egg coal with
little trouble. but can get but little
chestnut or stove coal. These sizes,
however, are the ones most used in
the homes in this city and vicinity.
The opinion of the dealers seems
to be that IL the present cold wealth
er remains for any length of time
there wiN be plenty of coal received
in this city to take care of any
wants. They maintain that due to
