' THE FUEL SITUATIO5T.
Last weekeve stated that unless sup-
plies of fuel were received- at orlce,
1
there was great danger of a fuel faln-
ine. To -day that is the situation ki state -that • had the sum representing
which Seaforth at least, finds itself, the coal bills for the lase twat years

ha ell been received here for nearly a yoke) our industries in place of cur -
month and householders wlio laict in
their usual supply to last them over
the winter have almost in every case
divided up their supplies with their
less fortunate neighbore,, until the
surplus has been exhausted: Moreov-
er, there is little likelihood of the sit-
uation improving for some time to
come,' in so far as the coal supply
is concerned. The Govern -client Fuel
Controller. has allotted to each town
a supply of coal according to popu-
lation, but has made no allowance for
adjoining municipalities. In the ca
of Seaforth one-half, if not two-thir
of this .aillotment 'was allewed to no

supplying their customers, some of
whom are of yearshstanding, unleas a
general ruling to that effect was imade
The control of distribution, however,
was not taken out a the dealers' hands
until the situation becatne acute, and
there was an actual fuel famine.
There ie only one way to remedy eh.e
case as it now stanos, and that is
for those farmers -who received half
the supply of. the town's coal to re-
turn this fuel in the form of wood,
and at a corresponding price.
Owing to labor conditions and other
causes, farmers have, been depending
more and more year by year on coal
for their winter fuel, until very few
of them, no matter how much bush
they own, have any available supply
of wood on hand. Such being the case,
it may seem an imposition to them to
be asked to help out their town eeigh-
bors. We know the scarcity of labor,
and that the bushes are full of snow,
but we also know the wood is avail-
able. The argument can justly be put
forward by enan'Y that they have no
bush. It is equally true, however,
that they own a team of horses and a
sleigh alai their is not one farmer
in one -hundred that does not .know
the location of at least one bush, with-
in a radius of a very short distance,
owned by 'a neighber, *here he can se-
cure a supply of wood. Oa the o/ther
hand there is not one town resident
in two hundred, when' his supply of
coal is done, knowswhere to turn for
wood or any other fuel, excepting the
town wood -yards, where for the past.
two years there has been practically
no reserve, and there is not one town
resident in 1,000 that owns a ;team
of horses and a sleigh to go after it
if he did know where it- could be se-
cured.
The situation facing the people of
the towns is not a pleasant one to
contemplate. Hereafter Coal can only
be secured throughea„ permit issued
by the town fuel, controller, and in any
case not more thee three tons can
legally be kept oneenyon 's premises.
Anything over thtt amotn Os subject
to confiscation. The situ Ilion, how-
ever, which faces the country is of its
own choosing. If the people there
