LYGEUM MON. TUES. WED. f ! tion service T0 GFFICIAL HOWL Explains Why He Sold Geal to Consumers in Farmington F. H. Johnston of the Tity Coal and Wood Co. emphatically denies that he has sold coal to out of town custom- ers except with the permission of Thom trator. Mr. Johnston was prompted | to issue a statement in reply to infor- ; mation given out at City hall and pub- { lished in afternoon papers Saturday in which he was held up by Mayor Quig- ley and Clerk Kisselbrack of the War Bureau as being guilty of a wrong to coal consum s city Contradicts Kisselbrack. Mr. Kisselbrack said that the City i Coal and Wood Co. did not have any loaded cars on its tracks awaiting to be unloaded. In regard to this, Johnston says: “The statement brack of the War of Rarl Kissel- Bureau, in an eve- ning paper, is a deliberate misstate- ment. I did apply to him for help for the purpose of unloading cars of coal. I did state to him that we had cars on our tra for the past three to five Gays which we had been un- able to unload because every man we could get was working loading up teams, so as to get out every pound of coal we could deliv Those cars are on our track at this writing and we are paying demurrage on them Mr. Kisselbrack’s statement that we had charged cents per bag at the vard is another deliberate mis ment. He stated that he had a wo- man in his office who claimed we had charged that price. He denied it and requested Mr. Kisselbrack to bring the woman to our ofiice and we would check up our records, which, of course, he did not do. It is evident that some people prefer locse state- ments to facts even when they can get them Answer to Mayor Quigley. In reference to Mayor Quigley’s statement concerning the sale of coal to Farmington people, Mr. Johnston says. “For the past ten years the City Coal and Wood Company has been selling between 600 and 800 tons of coal yearly to peaple in Farmington, and for the past fcw months, there have been orders on our books from clistomers i~ Farmungton, which we have been unable to fiil. After re- several very emphatic anp ; customers I told them that would send teams to my yard, uld have furnace size coal, but nothiug el Tmmediately on recejv- ing the notice that was sent to all the coal dealers this morning by the lo- cal committee, 1 called Mr. Russell, fue administrator this state, on the telephone and was told that if the people were regular customers and in extreme need of coal to give them double teams which Farmington from peo- ple who are not regular customers turned back without a bit of This afternoon, Mr, Russell tel egraphed me, requesting that hereaf- ter 1 get permission from our Ic coal committee before filling orders which T am very glad to do. So far as supplying the people of the ci with coal, is concerned, the City C and Wood Company has donc eve thing in its power to relicve all of its stomers and has stated to all per- ns, so far as I know of, that if they send to the yard they will be given small 19ts of coal to velieve any abso- lute necessity. “Today (Saturday) we gave out <oal to over 300 people and we had to ask police protection because of the fact that at one time there were thirty express teams and trucks at the yard for coal and it was getting impossible to handle any business whatever. Dur- ing the past ten days coal has been sold by us to over 1,000 people, many of whom were not regular customers. All the yards in the city have regular customers in surrounding and adja- cent places, but in no case has coal been allowed to go out of New Brit- ain so far as I know, unless in cases of extreme necessity.” Chairman Christ of the fuel com- mittee stated today that the commit- s no desire to interfere with legitimate trade or to disrupt busine; but in the future it will be necessary for retail dealers to secure written permission before delivering coal out of town. In the case of lesitimate tomers in the suburbs who have n trading with dealers for a long while, it is not believed the com- mittee will interfere, but permission will be necessary.

New York, Jan. 7.—Severe weather of the last 10 days has greatly’ in- creased the difficulties of operation on the lines of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, said a statement issued here last night by Kdward J. Pearson, president of the road. Because of the extreme cold, freight engines have been from 20 to 30 per cent. less efficient, the state- ment declared. “At the present time,” Mr. Pearson continued, “the New Haven is short of employes in its engine terminals; also in the train, engine and yurd servic horta of watcr transportation kes it mecessary 1o 1l an ased tonnage of coal, by to perform, roughly, from more transporta in- cr and then 50 to 100 per cent. “The: together with the necessity of giving preference for the demands of freight, particu- Government shipments and taking > causes, [ nt s fuel, oodstuff: oif pé i required the trains.” have of senger JOHNSTON REPLIES REDUCES PARISH - DEBT BY $14,750 W.

To his amazement, he ran up against a real “sensation”, when he was admit- ted to the friend's den. There the man all right, but apparenty wasn’t so sick that he couldn't tele- phone.
