The coal situation lin Bennington Is
better probably than in most other
towns because both coal dealers here
are responsible and take advantage
of every opportunity TO supply fuel.
In spite OF effort, however. the situa-
ton grows more critical.
New York City goes on coal ration
ing Monday and practically oil the
cities and large towns OF the north
and east are facing fuel famine.
Bennington is better off than most
towns because II Ii SO near the noun.

All fuel administrators and others
familiar with the situation advise the
most extreme conservation Of coal and
the use of substitutes whenever pos.
sible.
Most furnaces Will burn soft coal
after a fashion and give reasonable
satisfaction, after the fireman be-
comes expert at his job. II is also pos
sble TO use a combination OF coal and
