COAL FOR FLORISTS AND COM- 

 MERCIAL GREENHOUSES. 



The following letter was addressed 

 on November 8, by J. J. Storrow, Fed- 

 eral Fuel Administrator for New Eng- 

 land, to all local fuel committees in 

 JIassachusetts: 



Dear Sir: — Acting under authority 

 from Washington we beg to advise 

 you, until further notice, florists and 

 commercial greenhouses may receive 

 and burn bituminous coal, anthracite 

 coal smaller than No. 1 buckwheat, or 

 coke breeze, without restriction to the 

 50 per cent, quota. 



This means much to those earning 

 their livelihood by conducting com- 

 mercial greenhouses. Please be kind 

 enough to see that they are all 

 promptly notified in your community. 



The restriction against using do- 

 mestic sizes of anthracite (that is, 

 sizes larger than No. 2 buckwheat) 

 still holds. Very truly yours, 



James J. Stobrow, 



Massachusetts Fuel Administrator.
