THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY. JANUARY 1. 1918.
KENNEDY TELLS
OF REBATES DUE
TO COAL BUYERS
Fuel Administrator Explains
Difference Which Consum
ers May Expect From
Dealers.
START JUNIOR RED
CROSSDRIVESOON
National Society to Give School
Children Opportunity to
Join in National
Work.
John L. Kennedy, federal fuel ad
ministrator for Nebraska, issued the
following statement concerning re
bates to coal consumers in the city
of Omaha.
"The rebate to be paid to the pur
chaser of coal, who has been charged
more than the government price, is
not the difference between the price
paid and the price established Decem
ber 19, 1917.
"It is the difference between the
price paid and the government price,
between October 1, 1917, and Decem
ber 19, 1917; based upon the 1915 aver
age gross margin of the dealer sell
ing the coal.
"That may be ascertained from his
books and from statements in the
hands of the Douglas county fuel
committee.
"The present prices are based upon
the average gross margins of all the
dt.ilers; so that they may all charge
trie same price lor a given kind of
coal.
Coal on a Cash Basis.
"The present prices are reasonable,
but close. They represent -economy
in management. Consumers should
oi-nperate.
"The dealers in many cases have to
pay cash for coal. They have a right
to expect cash from their customers.
Hy placing business on a cash basis,
the expense of bookkeeping, postage,
stationery and making collections is
reduced, and bad debts are eliminated."
Children's Tin Box Fund
Reaches Big Sum in Year
Mrs. Walter Page. 101 North Thirty-ninth
street, chairman of the chil
dren's tin box fund in Omaha, reports
that the fund reached ?27,584.10 dur
ing the first year of its existence. The
children's tin box fund started at
Bristol, R. I. On this first box was
written "Tor the' children in Bel
gium and northern France. Put in
3 cents. It will give a child one
meal."
Later several boxes were placed in
New England cities and finally the
movement grew until it is now repre
sented in almost every state in the
union. Boxes are placed in shops,
restaurants, hotels, homes, etc. No
begging appeals or requests for
money have ever been made by offi
cers of the fund. All donations are
voluntary.
