THE FUEL SCAR•.ITY.
Very Little Coal Arriving -Town is
Securing a Supply of Wood.
The fuel situation in Goderich contin-
ues to grow more serious. The dealers are
receiving a car or two of coal occasionally,
but with nearly everybody short a carload
does not go very far. Very little wood is
coming into town and what little
does come is held at a very high
price.
It was proposed that, in order to save
fuel. the churches unite in holding ser-
vices, but as most of them are meeting in
the' basements It was decided that to
hold- union services in the auditoriums
would not effect any particular sav-
ing.
Mayor Wigle called the dealers together
Monday night for a conference. but was
infermed that prospects for securing
anything but an occasional car or so were
not bright.
Small amounts of soft coal are being
sold to citizens from the supply at
the p ow•erhouse, orders being issued from
the town clerk's office in cases of emer-
gency.
The town council has purchased a piece
of bush from Mr. J. W. Salkeld and is
putting men in to cut and saw the wood,
which will be sold to the public. Th.s
wood will be available in a few days.
Upon the request of Mayor Wigle, the
stores have agreed to dose at 6
n chock each evening except Saturday. I
when they will close at 10 o'clock. Drug-
stores will dose at 9 o'clock.
At the Collegiate Institute a plan has
been worked out for saving fuel by
shutting up a part of the school and re-
arranging the time -tables so that the
upper school 'classes are taken in the
morning from 8 to 12.30 and the lower
school in the afternoon from 12.30 to 5
o'clock. Private citizens are adoptin;
all sorts of expedients in their efforts to
meet the situation.
NOTICE
Owing to the scarcity of
Coal, and the fact that
sales have, of necessity, to
be made in very small
quantities. we have found
it absolutely necessary to
