N, Abbe, Rep- resentative 1, W, Christ, George P, Spear, James 8 North and Miss Mary K, Curtin, assistant seeretary of the Chamber of Commerce, Miss Curtin continued In her regular capacity as seeretary of commission, " Ts Higher, Mr, Birown made a few preliminary remarks, pointing out that Mr, Christ had resigned as administrator and that the job had been wished on to him, He called attention to the fact that while the old price of $18.50 a on still stands, it has been reported that all local dealers are getting $20, he dealers agreed that this was true, stating that they are required to pay higher prices and cannot maintain the lower rate, Cash and Carry Plan, A survey showed conditions to be about the same as they were a month ago, 50 far as the actual, sup- ply on hand is copcerncd, Mr. Brown asked how much rebate was given people who called for their own coal. athan Berson said he was giving o0 cents, while Frank H. Johnston, of the City Coal and Wood (o, said he was El\u\l! back $1.00, When Mr. Tirown replied to Mr. Berson by stating “You wouldn’t deliver coal for 50 cents,” Mr. Berson pointed out | that the actual cost of delivery is not saved entirely by selling at the yard because it is necessary to scrcen and bag the coal just the Iy other orders are delayed while this is being done. The coal dealers complained bitter- not playing fair. It was reported that y in- not open their driveways. Gardner C. Weld, of the Citizens' Coal stated that the necessity of shovelihg passageways into house, is taking $50 a day business out of a day's work for a truck. No Profit in Coal. Mr. Johnston stated that he is using exactly double the force he would need otherwise. Mr. Berson said, “If I make a profit at $20 a ton I'll be happy.” Mr. Weld stated that coal dealers would have to charge $24 a ton under present conditions to make any kind of a profit. “The price doesn’t bother me near- ly as much as supplied with coal,” said Mr. John- ston. “The most important thing we are up against is the inability to keep the public in coal,” he added. ““The matter of substitutes is not heing lived up to,” said Mr. Brown, referring to the agreement made some time ago whereby all dealers but one pledged themselves to try and spread out the supply of coal by using 20 per cent buckwheat and 80 per cent larger sizes.

Mr, Brown said he had complaints! of hard coal being delivered to new houses in Belvidere and Stanley Quar. | ter, It was reported that this was done to vry the fresh plaster, It was agreed that henceforth only coke will| be sold for this purpose, Maurice H. Johnson of the Citizen’'s Coal and/ Wood Co, reported that heshad plenty of coke on hand and on the way. Complaints were made that domes- | tic size coal was being delivered to Lusiness blocks on Main street, Mr, | Christ reported that James P, Sulll- | van has been a consistent violator of | this ruling, | Deliveries Out of Town, 1 Mr. Brown asked if anyone was de-| livering coal out of town and Mr.| Weld and Mr, Johnson reported that they were tAking orders from regu- lar customers only in Westwogd park | |and Maple Hill. Asked if Maple Hill was considered part of New Britain or Hartford, Mr. Johnson replied, !“It's a part of Hartford in the sum- mer time and New Britain - in the| winter,” No coal is being delivered | by local dealers other than to New| Britain and suburbs, it was learned ! Mr. Johnston said he is refusing from | five to eight orders each day in Plun-‘ ville, ) Mr. Johnston brought up the quos-i | tion of New Britain's allotment. He| | pointed out that New Britain's con-| | consumed in 1921 when there were| fewer people than in 1922, He said | that if the city was allowed only 60 | percentage of what was consomed in . The Emergency Bill. Mr. Weld said he wanted the pub- ic to play the game square. He said | his drivers put coal into a house and | come back and report that they find all kinds of coal there. Mr. Christ was asked about the emergency fuel bill now before the legislature. He said he was more or| less familiar with the terms of the| | bill and said it would be most un- | fortunate for coal dealers to oppose it. Weld said the dealers were not | opp8Sed to it, but would like a chance | to appear at a hearing and discuss certain phases of it. This Mr. Christ| said they probably would have an op- portunity to do. Mr. Berson was very much afraid | that if the hill goes through State | Fuel Commissioner Thomas W. Rus. | sell would be enabled to confiscate whole shipments from New Britain. It was pointed out to him that coal | would be confiscatedd only in cases of extreme emergency and might not amount to more than a few cars dur- |ing the winter. Mr. Berson said he would be in favor of closing up his | business if the bill went through. | Mr. Johnson replied, “You can't go before a hearing on the bill and rep- dealers on that basis.”” Mr. Johnston's attitude | was endorsed*by other dealers. Asks Newspapers to Help. Mr. Brown made an appeal to newspapermen to cmphasize to the best of their ability the importance of people buying substitutes so as to | stretch the visible supply. [ Complaints were made that truck- "m:-n who are hired to help handle coal deliveries indulge in profiteering, charging exhorb.tant prices when they know they must be used at any | price. It was reported that in many ‘cases trucks must stand around for of small purchasers at the yards, or congestion caused by delay in deliv- eriesgdue to snow barriers at homes, and that this probably caused the price to go higher. Mr. Brown asked | for names of all trucnmen charging | unreasonable prices. | Too Many Phone Calls, There was considerable discussion lol the congestion at the yards. The | Citizen’s Coal and Wood Co. and the City Coal and Wood Co. reported men working sometimes from 7 a. m. un- | til 6 p. m. without stopping even for | lunch and both firms reported having hired extra help to answer telephone calls and even then found it impos- sible to answer all calls. One dealer said he stopped answering calls after a certain time in the afternoon. “‘The| large quanity of what M.‘ vanee: “I don't egnsider it an order until 1 get the cash,’' ‘said Mr, John- ston. Mr. Shurberg made practically the same reply, The dealers all re- ported that they geo out to deliver telephone orders and unless they have the cash in advance they find other lerg' trucks there at the same time. Mr, Johnston alse reported that several times strange drivers pieked up in an emergency who have deliver- ed eoal C.

GIRL DUPED OUT OF $40 Stranger Works Ancient Envelope Game at Store of Typewriter Ex- change and Then Disappears. An ancient flim-flam game worked successfully in this city last night, at the store of the New Britain Typewriter Exchange Co., at 96 West Main street, and as a resuit the young woman clerk is sadder and wiser to the extent of $40.

On receiving the money, the stranger turned over the small bills he was holding and at the-same time he gave the impression thgt he was sealing the two-twenty-dollar bills in an envelope he was holding.

On being informed that the roll was short §2, the man then handed back the envelope, and took the $38, apologizing for his apparent mistake. | Shortly after the clerk opened the en-} | velope to find that it contained only folded paper.

Ar- cade Studio, BILL WOULD GIVE LIQUOR 10 INSTTUTIONSOF STATE Senator John Brooks ¥ Confiscated Whiskey to Places Re- ceiving Public Aid. (Special to The Herald), Hartford, Jan. 23.— Senator: John Brooks will probably introduce into the senate tomorrow, a bill stipulat- ing that in proper cases and by spe- clal direction of the courts, all con- fiscated liquor may be delivered to if- stitutions of the state of Connecticut which are now receiving state aid. If the bill isn ot brought up for discus- sion at tomorrow's session, it will be introduced in the near future. Should this bill be passed, the courts would have a wide scope, and much liquor that is now being held in storage pending condemnation pro- ceedings would be turned over for use in the state institutions. Under this ruling, the cargoes of liquor which have been seized within the past year, such as was taken in the raid on the sloop the Jennie T, would not be destroyed, but would be diverted to some use.
