PLANT WON'T SHUT DOWN
Coal Supply Needed Soon ut City
Waterworks, Says Stanfield.

0~~@A@@AN~@~~a
I'VE are in no immediate danger
of having to shut the waterworks
plant down. but we must have some
relief from the coal shortage" w. A.
Stanfield. city commissioner of water
and electric light, stated today.
The waterworks has received a car
Dad of very poor coal from Alabama
Stanfield declared that two days ago
he knew definitely where no less than
fourteen cars of coal consigned to him
chiefly from Colorado-were set out
on Kansas sidings. Some of the coal
had been shipped thru Topeka, and to
points beyond. Others were simply
parked upon sidings thru the state.
He is firmly convinced that the
railroad is deliberately refusing to
move the cars and deliver the coal, in
order that they may have it where
they can easily confiscate 1t If the
coal shortage for transportation pur-
poses becomes more acute.
I'VE are getting all ready to in
stall oil burners at the waterworks,
but we couldn't do that in time to
meet this shortage. The only remedy
is for the railroads to turn over to
us some of our coal which they are
holding up" Stanfield said today.
