SUSPENSION OF LIGRTLESS NIGHTS I,
Dr Garfield has decided to surpend operation of the light-
less night order. and will remain suspended until September 1st,
when it will again become effective.
CARLOAD LOTS
The State Fuel Administrator makes the following request:
. “Unless individuals made purchases of coal in similar manner
in 1910 or previously. carioad lots should not be ordered. If coal
is shipped direct to individual consumers in carioad lots. that
amount,will be charged against the allotment of the locality.
Under the present plan for dstribution to dealers I believe that
we can count upon the needs of a locality being supplied through
the dealers."
GOOD NEWS
The Anthracite Ooal Distribution Committee have issued,
orders to every shipper and producer to concentrate shipments
into the East, especially New Ingland; therefore, within the
next ten days there should a very increase in the
amount of coal received at v as points Connecticut.
