a EW YORKERS Pt 50.00 YEAR FOR "A OL TRADITION {Last Century a Charge for “Trimming” Was Fair; { a Myth Now. Back In the nineteenth century schooners were used instead of barges In New York Harbor to transport coal from the Jersey side to Manhattan. Men were employed in the two holds, tone fore and one aft, of each schooner fo level the coal as it was loaded. Whis process was called “trimming” and on each bill made out for trans- Bay shipment of coal a charge of from 4 to 8 cents a ton was made to cover it. | When steam power came in and rges supplanted the schooners, there ms little if any need for “trimming” the coa] naturally distributed itself enly over the flat-bottomed surface as a consequence the “trimmers” ‘were either laid off or employed on ether work, Notwithstanding this shipping in of foodstuffs, have to suffer. Health Commissioner Copeland has repeaiedly warned against this dan- ger, but with apparently little suc- cess, Even to-day, according to coal men, the supply of anthracite coal in New York City would last little more on the average than one to two weeks, were there to be a paralysis through storm of the transportation machin- ery. The Health Commissioner, real- izing this danger, has had his agents warn dilatory landlords to keep their coal bins full on the threat of severe penalty if cold radiators should be re- ported. With the proposed law in effect, however, the association holds that this danger would be greatly reduced, as tho home-owner's order would be a small one during such a crisis, thus relieving the coal trade of a heavy strain in winter months, and taking from the unscrupulous dealer a chance to profiteer during such periods of searcity. | CUTS RELATIVES OFF TO GIVE TO CHARITY Will of Mary 4.
