Suggestions for ltr?ndperr:vlnx the situation everywhere, however, were offered by the governor as follows: ’Appointment of federal agents more personally in sympathy with prohibls tion; Appropriation of more money; ‘Appointment of more federal agents; Closer co-operation between state and federal agencles. Gov.

Frank Joy Com- pany, Inc, that thelr price on stove, chestnut and egg coal will be $16.50. to comply with the commission’s statement that a higher price would be excessive. The commission was prompted to draft new regulations to govern the ordering of hard coal, following com- plaints that many consumers were “shopping around" from one coal yard to another. The commission feared this practice would result in some householders getting more than 60 per cent of their last year's supply. The new rules provide, in substance, that when a dealer gets a new cus- tomer he must ascertain from the commission whether the individual has an order pending with some other dealer.

The commission belisves that a fair distribution of household anthracite for the remainder of the winter will only be possible by keeping a close check on deliveries of this scarce type of fuel. There are no restrictions on soft coal, coke or briquettes for house- holders whose heating plants will burn these substitutes for anthracite.
