MILLER WILL NAME FUEL DICTATOR BY END OF THIS WEEK ! Denies New Law Will Give Landlords a Loop- hole. ALBANY, Aug. 80—It is announced that the new State Fuel Admintstra- te will be named and will be at work ‘ore the end of the present week. “1 am not yet ready to announce the name of the man who will take p the duties of Fuel Administrator,” he Governor said. The Governor was interested in the criticism of the measure as made by Senator Lockwood and others to the tffect that the Fuel Administrator could nullify those sections of the housing laws, also passed as an emergeney measure, compelling land- lords to furnish hot water, heat and elevator service. ‘The Governor locked up the provisions in his bil) and studied over them for a few mo- ments and then sald: “The bill does not make any sich provision. No law ts changed. The housing statutes make {t a penal of- fense for a landlord to refuse wilfully to supply heat, hot water and elo- cent. in the rush hour service of fously, tf the land 1} he is not wil ing ant of that ser ne Fuel Administrator may be obliced to cut down some of the ser- vice In an apartment, The act pasa ents doubt regardine nd makes clear what s.

With supplies of American Pocahontas coal coming in it is expected that the suspension will be vacated within » few days, and the Interborough or dered back to normal service. Out side of this one case, there has been absolutely no curtailment of servic: on the New York City transit lines."* When about recent accidents 38 the transit nes, Mr. Hark ess said ere is not the slightest connection between these accidents and the coal shortage.
