Engineer Commissioner Bell said he
had conferred with Jesse c. Suter,

ton and that the Commissioners
might issue a memorandum to the
public soon containing information
concerning substitutes for hard coal

Col. Bell said today he thought the
commissioners themselves could keep

issue such advice as the public should
have without creating a separate fuel
committee.

anthracite and how they should be
used may include a list of fair prices
