Germ to Board
TOTAL OF 2,07o TONS
BURNED LAST YEAR

At a meeting Of the Board OF Pub
lie Education last night, the coal
situation, so far as the public schools
are concerned, was discussed at
length.
Business Manager Bruce reported
that sufficient coal had so far been
obtained to keep the schools going,
but that the advancing price of the
commodity would nave TO be taken
into consideration by the board.
Last year there was used In the
public schools 1884 tons OF btu
minous coal. 465 tons of screenings,
1876 tons of egg ara 4 tons of pea,
making a total OF 2.O79 tons. This
school year the amount used so far
has not been computed. owing to the
number of small purchases of vari-
Gus grades of coal for various
schools. but the prices paid are seid<
to be $14.75 for egg and pea; $12.15
for pea; $500 for bituminous, and
$4.4S for screenings.
Business Manager Bruce was in
to draw plans for the re-
modelling of the boards assembly
room and as soon as the plans are

PARIS. Jan. 9.-The Preparations
commission by vote Of three TO one
today found Germany voluntarily I'm
default OF coal payments to France
during 1922.
Sir John Bradbury. British repre-
sentative. voted against the finding.
This Is the necessary technical
action which was to precede French
invasion of the Ruhr Valley and
occupation OF Essen. Marshal Foch' 5
military plans waited upon action by
the Allies finding Germany in de-
fault.
The Reparation Commission notl-
fed the French government of the
defaGlt and it was semi-ofilcially
stated action will follow almost Inn
mediately. possibly tomorrow. Amer
lean observer Boyden made state
ment to the commission before IL
took the vote. He refused to divulge
It's nature. but stated he made no
reservations.
France. backed by Belgium and
italy, made speedy finish or the Rep
aratiOns ommission's sitting today.
Ten herman experts had succeeded
in delaying matters yesterday by
haranguing all day. but today they
were called speedily TO account and
the vote France asked OF the com
mission was taken.
BY the vote Germany Is found TO
have willfully defaulted in amounts
of coal that should have been deiiv-
cred 10 France during the past year.
The Germans claimed they deliv-
cred so much they were forced to
import other coal themselves.
The French clapped on immedi-
ate censorship, applying to foreign
as local newspaper correspondents
upon forecasts Of what France will
DO. But the press agrees that in
vasion is practically at hand II
