Coal consumers of Norwalk have
no grounds for'fearing a coal short.-
age, such as was experienced last
winter..local coal dealers declare.
Shipments are being received at
regular intervals. but the dealers ask
that the people be patient, if deliv-
eries do not seem to be made as
quickly as they think they should be.
Every house will have its normal
supply at prices in accord with the
recent Pinchot award. providing con-
sumers do not place orders for large
quantities with the stipulation that
it 'be delivered upon receipt of the
order. This. the local coal men say.
will force the dealers into the inde-
pendentmarltet where they will be
forced to pay whatever price is ask—
ed. Naturally when they pay a
higher price the consumer must pay
_more also. ',
However. the localaconl dealers do
not anticipate being forced into the
independent field, that is. of course.

tient and be content to receive their

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.——The
Chamber of Commerce of Green-
wich, Conn.. the city of Norwalk.
and tho Civic Association of Harvey-
ten, are the latest bodies from which
protests against the proposed in-
crease of commuter-'3 rates on the
New York. New Haven and Hart-
ford, between New York and points
of Connecticut. have. been rcceivéd
by the Interstate Commission.
H. 1.. Nado. secrctary of the
Greenwich chamber. 'states that
there. are in that city about 1,400
regular daily commuters to New
York city, besides a great number of
residents who commute for the Port
Chester station. These people. lie
says. are already greatly handicap-
ped by fares which are higher than
the rates on the New Haven road
within New York state; and average
at present about $2.00 more per
month than those on all other roads,
and $4.00 per month more titan the
New York Central rates for similar
distances fonthese reasons. he says.‘
should the increased rates proposed
by the railroad be allowed to go into
effect. it would be such a. hardship
on the residents’ of Grccnyvich that
many of them would be forced to
move away into New York state. He
requests an opportunity to present
he arguments of the citizens of
reenwich before the Commission.
His protest. however. is not in such
form as to be considered formal by
the Commission.
On behalf of the commuters of
a committee
consisting. of George E. Ingham.
'lis appointed by Mayor Calvin L.
Barton has written to the Commis-
sion to request a suspension of the
luck-eased rates pending a hearing.
This action was taken pursuant to
the requirements of the Commission
for a. formal protest.
The Rowayton civic association.
following resolutions adopted by
that body at a meeting held STE-mem-
ber 17 has also filed a protest. More
than fifty residents of the communi-
ty. it is, stated are regular commut-
ers to New York city. and they al—
roacb' pay in the neighborhood of
8200 per year fares, which under the
proposed new tariff schedule. would
be increased by $35 per year each.-
This. it is declared. would be a grout
injustice to the people of Rowayton.
The. formal protest which the
Commission was advised by wire was
coming from a representative of the
citizens of Stamford has not yet
been received. but is expected to ar-
rive before Friday. the last day on
which protests may be filed.
