OFFERS ROCHESTER
 TELEPHONE CONTROL
Gorge Eastman, Kodak Manufacturer, Proposes to Buy Majority of
 Stock and Turn it over to Chy.

Rochester. N. r., Oct. S.--Geerge Eastman millionaire kodak manufac- turer, made public last night a letter to the conference committee on Rochester telephone matters in which he offers to buy the voting control In the Rochester Telphone Corporation and to donate the stock to the people of Rochster. "the title thereto to be vested In three Rochester men in no manner connected with the telephone business, to be selected under plan which Is to be developed later on."
 Tt must be apparent to you as 1t Is to me, that the telephone situation in Rochester is unsatisfactory and Is likely to remain so unless something can be done to alter the present con- ditions," says MT. Eastman.
 "The Rochester Telephone Corpora ton was organized in such way that, with certain limitations, the voting control of that corporation was vested ject of convincing the people of Rochester that the local corporation was in Rochester hands and not in the hands of the Bell company. How ever. the three excellent men selected to have this voting control are not Independent of the Bell company. and this, while the voting stock is in their hands, makes their independent rep resentation of Rochester interests im- possible"
 To relieve these men of the em- barrassment inevitably resulting iron. this situation and to put the voting control of this stock in the hands of men absolutely independent of Bell interests" Mr. Eastman proposes to buy the 666 shares of the common stock of the Rochester Telephone Corporation of the par value of $e6,- 500, held by the three men and to turn them over to the City of Roches- ter.
 A decrease in metered telephone rates was recommended in the long awaited report of the bureau of muni- cipal research filed today with the joint conference board appointed at the suggestion of Mir Eastman to try to solve the telephone triangle result ! ing from the installation of metered rates a year ago last July.

 COAL THIS WINTER

 Will be Required to Burn Such.

Will be Required to Burn Such.
 Hartford. Oct 3.--That apartment houses. schools and all city and town buildings will be required throughout the coming winter to use nothing but bltuminous, was asserted in an inter view given yesterday by Fuel Admin istrator Thomas w. Russell.
 Tn my opinion" said Mir Russell there will not at any time during the winter be sufficient hard coal for use at any of the above classification of buildings and for that reason urge that those in charge immediately lay in enough bituminous sizes to care for their needs. Before the end of this week every dealer in the seate will have instructions for users of soft coal"
 Mir. Russell also said that factories and all commercial establishments would be expected 10 use bituminous ceal for heating purposes during the entire winter. However. permits for use of anthracite will be given where required for manufacturing purposes.
 In conclusion. 1t was said by those in charge of the fuel situation that not more than SO per cent of last years supply of anthracite would be available during the coming winter in Connecticut The householder who Is not able to use bituminous coal must be protected at all hazards. and for that reason all those who can use soft coal will be required to do so.
