FUEL COMMISSION
HOLDS CONFERENCE
Two conferences have been held by
the city fuel commission on the pres-
ent situation faced by the city in view
of the low stocks of coal and the se-
vere weather conditions. Friday eve-
ning the coal dealers of the city were
called to meet with the commission in
the mayor's office, and at noon today
they gathered again, this time to con-
sult with Joel L. Priest, general agent
of the Oregon Short Line.
Only 10 cars of coal have been re-
ceived by dealers from the mines this
week. Three or four times that num-
ber are supposedly in transit, having
been consigned. None arrived in the
city Friday night, when the thermom-
eter dropped to the lowest point it
has reached in years. Sixty-odd per-
mmits were issued to coal purchasers by
the city fuel commission in the 24
hours ending Friday noon. In the last
24 hours over 160 have been given.
