The Truth About the Coal
. .
Contract.
The coal COO trtct bdweel1 thc
city andJ 1' . Douglas , proprietor
of the city roller mills was abrogated -
g-ated at the meeting the city
council last week. Humors relating -
lating'to this action have been
abroad in thc land for some weeks
and the action of the city council
was not a surprise. 'l\lte trouble ,
as we learn from a member of time
council , began when it appeared
hat thc coal was not lasting as
long as it should , one nmorlth the
city burning eight car loads or
about two car loads a week. An
invstigatioim was instituted and
the council claim to have secured
evidence that Iouglaswotlld take
coal from the cars anc1 put it in
his own coal bins al1d that 1 hc
would also scJl coal from thc
city's cars. Mr. I'o lnec1il : on
bond \ of Douglas started to il1\'cs ,
ti , ate ; 111 1 as a result asked the
council at its last meeting to re-
lease him from the 1)011(1. After
a satisfactory settlement this
was clone al1el the coal contract
abrogated. Time council . then entered -
tered into a contract with Mr. P.
S. , Hcacock and has every reason-
able assurance that it will not
again be necessary ta burn two
car loads a wcck.
