PROJECT WAS DISCUSSED

A shipment OF coal To Wilmington

fact that these shipments are about

substitutes in this city to take care OF
the demands OF those who are in need

of substitutes on hand. n well known
coal dealer said that he thought ne
could make immediate delivery OF
coal He added that the main dif'i-
Guilty in the situation lies in the fact
that orders received late Saturday
would have to be delivered today and
this would probably cause ORDERS
made today 10 he forced to await de-
livery untn tomorrow. lie pointed
out that the quantity now in the
yards of local dealers Is sufficient FOR
the time being
He also spoke of the plan OF the
city of Camden 10 purchase and sell
at cost 10 the poor. or 70 those in need
~ IL. supply Of coal. an account o,
which was published in Saturday s

not seem possiele c~cruee OF the FAC,
that the r-ilinr made by the Pennsyl-
vania commission. which restricts the
purchasing OF coal to dealers only
prohibits the buying of coal by per
sons who are not dealers. or course.
he continued, the commission may

every community might want "a pur.
