FUEL BULLETIN .
ICOAL MUST BE SAVED
The fuel committee in following and watching the collec-
tion of ashes one morning this week, discovered a large quan-
tity of good unburned coal in three large ash cans. Upon inquiry
of the city men who were doing the work, the committeeman
was told that at certain places they always found quantities of
good coal in the ash cans. This instance was the second one
coming under the personal obseravtion of the commitwe this
week. Why waste coal when there is need of every pound that
can be had? If every householder in the country would save
one small shovelful of coal a day, at the end of a year the saving
Would amount to 15,000,000 tons. During the six winter months
a saving of one furnace shovelful of coal 3. day would amount
to 25,000,00 tons of coal. This would go far toward wiping out
the national shortage of 50,000.000 tons.
BUR!“ RIG WOOD
The coal shortage this winter can be relieved some by
burning wood. Tw’o pounds of wood have a fuel value of one -
pound of coal. To burn wood in a stove or furnace it will be
found desirable to partly cover the grate. in order to reduce the
draft. If this is not done the wood is 'wasted by being consumed
too fast, and makes a very' hot fire, which may damage the fire-
OPPORTUNITY TO HELP
The committee calls for voluntary pbdges from residents
of our city, offering some certain amount of coal from their
cellars or coal-bins, to be paid for and used in cases of extreme
necessity. The committee would like to have a list available of
those who will contribute in this philanthropic and patriotic
work. Please send your name and address. to the chairman or
any member of the committee. '
A WORD 0P APPRECIATION -
The committee desire to express their appreciation of the
efforts of the coal dealers. and also their teamsters and yard
storm of snow and sleet that followed. Both the dealers and
out the situation at that time.
GOAL census
The present coal crisis is a community matter and should
so be regarded by all. It may be necessary to take a coal census
of the city, in which every resident will be requested to mom
a blank report stating the number of persons. the number of
rooms and the number of tires maintained, together with details
of yearly consumption of coal. amount of coal on hand and other
CITY '8 CONDITION
'1st far there have been no cases reported to the fuel
committee. of extreme sudering on the part. of Norwaik families
for coal. Many have been obliged to go for their coal and take it
home by the bushel and some have had to go temporarily to
their neighbors. Wood is being used as a substitute for coal with
satisfactory results. Many people have curtailed their consump-
tion of cost by using wood. -
FEDERAL SHUT DOWN ORDER.
A special order has been issuedby the United States Pool
Administration at Washington providing for the general our-
tailing of certain lines of business for five days, and on each
Monday until the end of March. This order was issued for the
purpose of immediately providing a sudicient amount of coal
to heat the homes of the country. This order is made for the
direct benefit of each and every family in Norwalk, and the
committee asks the co-operation of every patriotic citisen in
carying out its spirit and purpose. The manufacturers of Nor-
wslk almost to a man proved themselves loyal to the order. In
reply to the committee ‘I inquiry at the 30uth Norwalk Electric
Works yesterday. the reply was that the plant was registering
only a normal holiday load. This was ample evidence that pow-
