Dear Sir, -The United States fuel
Administration has -this year allotted
to Canada and certain - states of the
Union, a fixed • tonnage of anthracite
coal- based '(1st) on anticipated pro-
duction- of the mines, and (and) on
the conditions in -the 1various 'sections
of the two countries, Air, McGrath,
-Fuel 'Controller, Ottawa; has, in turn
apportioned Cnada's allotment,
Recently an arrangement- was reach-
ed with the U, S, Adininistrstion,
whereby shipments are to be„ made to
points in Ontario according to my
distribution of the supply for the pro-
vince. This distribution has been a
task of some magnitude. It 'was com-
pleted with all possible expedition that
the dealers and municipalities ought
he advised, The distribution list will
be in the hands of the Anthracite Dis-
tributing Committee at Philadelphia
and they are to see that shipments
are made accordingly. livery effort
is to be made to ship 75 per cent of
the supply by Nov. 3011y -the remaining
25 per cent. to come forward during
the following four months.
The allotment to your cum0111 ity is
given above, This tonnage consists
of domestic sizes of antharcite includ-
ing pea size. There is no restriction
as to the quality of steam sizes you
may procure, the importation of which
®' , a r•e :O d is not charged to Canada's allotment
of anthracite. Yon should, therefore,
consider the advisability of endeavor-
ing to place order; at once for a sup-
ply of steam Si/CS, especially No,
1 buckwheat, which can be burned in
certain types of heaters and crus be
mixed with larger sizes for general
use. You are alto at liberty to pro-
cure one and a half tons of anv one
grade of bituminous coal for each tun
of anthracite you are short int this•
season on the quantity received last
season (April 1st, 1ot7, !+, A1.u'cit 31,
1918 ) This supply of bituminous is
additional to your regular require-
ment of such fuel.
You are aware that as far as possible
all coal has to come from 1916 and
1917 sources, If )on cannot obtain
coke and bituminous coal direct from
American shippers, Canadian brokers
and wholesalers will likely be able to
help you.
I have no doubt you fully appreciate
ire responsibility resting upon you in
fleeting the reasonable fuel require-
nents of your community for next
winter, and that you will do everything
cssible to get forward the allotted
apply of antharicte, and to secure
uch quantities of steam sines of an-
tarcite, bituminous coal, coke and
vocxt through the regular trade chan-
els, as will preclude any possibility
f the people suffering. Full and un-
inted co-operation between the deal-
rs land the municipal authorities is
operative for the satisfactory hand-
tg of the fuel situation with which
e country is confronted.
As stated in my letter of April last,
ere is 00 justification whatever, ex -
ting conditions, for a dealer to sup -
y coal to anyone who can obtain
acid, The fuel regulations should also
thoroughly understood and eout-
lied with.
I attach copy of leiter which 1 have
dressed to the mayor or reeve of
ur municipality,

Dear Sir: -1' attach herein copy of
letter which has been addressed to
licensed retail coal dealers. It wilt
Inform you as to the plan of distribu-
tion of antharicfe coal this year.
Above you will please note the al-
ldtntent which I have made to your
municipality and the number of licens-
ed dealers therein, Ontario is to re-
ceive approximately 39'5,000'nett tons
of antin'acite •IVTP21 't11 it did last
year. This has rendered it impossible
for me to allot to any municipality the
quantity it wishes to 'obtain. The
above allotment- is 110 doubt insuffici-
ent for your fuel needs, and must be
supplemented by an increased use of
other grades of fuel. Yon will observe
the suggestions f have made to the
dealers in this regard.
The fuel regulations provide for the
app1intnt0nt of a fuel Controller, Com-
missioner or Board of Commissioners
in each -municipality. No municipal -
