ALL APPLICANTS SUPPLIED WITH
COAL IX SMALL QUANTITIES
Through tho local committee ap
pointed all applicants for coal during
tho past week have been supplied
with sufficient fuel to keep from suf
fering from tho cold weather which
has prevailed. When the surplus on
hand warranted, applicants wore giv
en 1000 pounds each, but in a great
majority of tho cases tho maximum
amount has been 500 pounds. Satur
day farmers wore supplied with 1000
pounds each, becauso they llvo farther
from tho sourco of supply and us tho
roads aro bad trips to towa require,
timo and effort.
Since Wednesday all applicants
been turned away. At times the qual-

held here subject to release by the
state fuel administrator at Omaha.
This coal as released is sent to the
points In Nebraska designated by tho
fuel administrator. It 1b not, there
fore, strange that from 300 to 500
cars of coal aro ln the loclal yards
at somo particular tlmo. Practically
all coal for towns along tho Union
Pacific east of us is divorted from tho
North Platto yards, and It la neces
sary that a surplus bo hold hore at all
times.
Conditions hero ln North Platto are
from hand to hand, and yesterday
somo of the offico buildings and gar
ages wero without coal. At least two
of tho garages have ordered the neces
sary equipment for burning oil.
The normal consumption of coal in
North Platto and tnulo territory for
all purposes during the winter is an
avorago of fivo cars a day! thrco cars
for household uso and two cars for
business buildings nnd tho smaller in
dustrial plants, which docs not in
clude tho light and wnter plant and
tho mill. Howovor, tho supply re
ceived during the past week by tho
committee hafl been but ton cars. As
many households and business build
ings had laid ln part of a winter's
supply, tho stock so hold has .cut down
tho present domnnd, but as this sur
plus becomes exhausted tho dally do
mand will nocossarlly Increase.
Tho Indications nt prosont aro that
a scarcity of coal will exist through
out tho greator part of tho wlntor, as
all surplus stocks aro bolng exhausted
and tho production is only fifty pur
cent of tho normal in tho heaviest
coal-producing sections. Even should
normal production bo reached, it will
