THE SUN, Established 117 T« CITIZENS GIVING | ORDERS FOR GOAL; i DEALERS ARE BUSY Effect of Observance of Early W eek by Griffin People Evi dent in the Increased Orders, Says Mr. Nichols. GEN ER A L OBSER V AN< E WILL AVOID SHORTAGE i I In Order to Accommodate Themsel»e s to I se of Broken Coal. Save Fuel and Enhance Their Comfort Citizens Are Installing Plants. “The effet of the observance of “early order week' by citzena of Griffin is evident by the increased or ders for coal received by the local iealers,” said W. G. Nichols, city committeeman in an interesting inter view with a News and Sun reporter Tuesday. “Oi course,” continued Mr. Nich ols. “not all the orders will be filled at once, as this is not the expectation of the fuel administration, which is only seeking to get orders placed with retailers s o that the dealers may be able to get in their coal and dis tribute it before cold weather. It would be unreasonable to expect tha dealer to pile up coal indefinitely in his yard with no knowledge of when or where he could sell it, to say nothing of the unfairness of looking to the dealer to finance the coal busi ness of the entire community. “The National Fuel Administrator estimate s that to meet the demand for domestic fuel there will need to be an increase of about 15 per cent over last year, which is about eight weeks* output of the mines. He ij trying to meet this by keeping the mines ia full operation during the summer. “The fuel administration in Waah-. ington state announces that in case there is a coal shortage next winter, the consumer who has storage apace or who could have provided for the storage of his coal and did not, will not be supplied until all booked or ders have been filled and then he will be obliged to take his chances. “The general observance of the workings of the administration will avoid the possibility of discomfort from enforcement of any such order here. “The local dealers make a reduc tion of 50c per ton in price to those who haul their own coal from the coal yards, the dealers loading same on. wagons. There is also an extra charge of 50c per ton for carrying coal up stairs. “The price allowed the mine ope rators by the government for the lump coal, from which fine coal has been sifted, is about the same as for run of mines coal and as a conse quence there will not be as much lump coal this year as in the past. Fur thermore, on account of the shortage of labor as well as the low price, more work is acomplished by blasting, and the coal i 9 broken into smaller pieces —the lumps are smaller. In order ta accommodate themselves to the use of the broken coal, save fuel, and en hance their comfort, a number of citizens are considering the installa tion of heating plants in their homes.” HOLLONVILLE HINTS.
