MUNY COAL COMPANY
HAS THREE ORDERS
i
Investigation 'Shows that Coal
Could Be Sold at Saving of
$3 a Ton to Purchas
ers by City.
The Municipal Coal company, al
though now only a possibility, hag
received three orders for coal, enough
. for an entire carload.
Three persons have given City
j Commissioner Dan Butler orders for
r coal in case the city opens tke pro
; j posed municipal yards, and have told
the commissioner they are ready to
advance payment immediately as
proof of good faith. ,
! Investigation of prices by City Pur
chasing Agent Grotte show that the
city can sell coal at a saving of from
$2.50 to $3 a ton to the purchaser,
j i The city is purchasing semi-anthra-
i cite coal at $5.80 per ton. Counting
' j delivery costs, the price to the con
, j aumer would be' about $6.50. This
; I coal is sold by Omaha retailers at
$9.50.
I . Three Dollars Less,
f I Illinois cpal, delivered, could be
; sold by the city at $570 a ton. Deal.
I en cell it at $8.50. Iowa coal could
j I be sold At $4.91.
I I Attorney Lambert of the city legal
lution which will permiU the city4
council to declare an emergency fund
to give the municipal coal yards a
start. ''
' Commissioner Butler believes it
may even prove unnecessary to use
any part of the fund to get the muny
coal company under way, as all busi
ness would be strictly cash. .

orders to take care of each car or
